"Chuck Schumer took so much heat in March when they passed a clean CR. And he's so worried about AOC challenging him and losing control of his Senate Democratic conference that he's trying to show. I mean, he even updated his glasses to show that he is hip and, you know, feisty now. But it's absurd. The whole thing is performative, Lawler said."
"I have seen polling that shows her double digits ahead of Chuck Schumer. Do you think she chooses to run ultimately and defeats Chuck Schummer? McEnany asked Lawler. I do think she will run for U.S. Senate in 2028. I don't think she'll run for president. And I think Chuck Schumer's days are numbered. Look, he's been in elected office for 50 years. He got elected in 1974 to the New York State Assembly, 1980 to Congress. It's time to go. 50 years in public office."
Rep. Mike Lawler blamed Democratic leadership for the government shutdown and accused House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of fearing their far-left base. Democrats have refused to support a continuing resolution until Affordable Care Act subsidies are extended. Lawler noted that Jeffries declined to sign a separate bill he co-sponsored to extend those subsidies without tying them to the CR. Lawler predicted that Schumer will face a challenge and likely lose to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a future Senate race. Lawler described Schumer's style change as performative and said Schumer's long tenure is time to end.
