Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he would not resign and defended his vote in favor of the spending bill to avoid a government shutdown.
03/23/2025 --axios
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he's "not stepping down" from leadership in an interview aired Sunday amid mounting pressure from within his party to abandon his post.Why it matters: He's remaining defiant as Democratic lawmakers and outside groups pile on calls for him to step aside. But Schumer, who dealt a key blow to former President Biden's reelection bid, argued he's "absolutely" not making the same mistake Biden did when he hesitated to step down. "I did this out of conviction," Schumer said on NBC News' "Meet the Press," about his spending bill vote that angered some Democrats. He added his caucus has "all agreed to respect each other" over their differing opinions.Despite Schumer's public confidence, some House Democrats are urging their colleague Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) behind closed doors to challenge him for his Senate seat in 2028.Driving the news: Schumer acknowledged that the GOP-led funding bill that passed with support from some Senate Democrats was "certainly bad" but contended a government shutdown would be "15 or 20 times worse."He argued that a shutdown would give the Trump administration "sole power" to determine what is "essential," granting them latitude to further "eviscerate the federal government."Schumer further contended there would be no "off ramp" for a shutdown, and that only "those evil people at the top of the Executive Branch" could turn the lights back on. What he's saying: "It was a vote of principle," Schumer said."Sometimes when you're a leader, you have to do things to avoid a real danger that might come down the curve," he continued. "And I did it out of pure conviction as to what a leader should do and what the right thing for America and my party was. People disagree."The other side: People do disagree, with many House Democrats viewing Schumer's vote as a show of weakness rather than of resolute leadership.Progressive "Squad" Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Ocasio-Cortez added their fuel to the House fire Thursday, with Omar characterizing the Senate support for the GOP bill as giving up "our first point of leverage" at a town hall. Ocasio-Cortez called for "a Democratic Party that fights harder for us" at a rally alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in Nevada.While neither directly called for Schumer's resignation, other House Dems have openly backed a changing of the Democratic guard.Zoom out: Asked about Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) dig that she doesn't "give away anything for nothing" — something she believed "happened the other day" — Schumer told NBC's Kristen Welker, "what we got ... is avoiding the horror of a shutdown."If Democrats had "asked for things," he said, Republicans "just would've said no."The big picture: The Democratic leader is steadfast in his self-defense. But the battle is bigger than him.The growing Schumer scorn underlines the party's urgent divide over how to handle President Trump's (at times legally dubious) executive steamroller. Schumer agreed Sunday that the U.S. is in a constitutional crisis in the early days of Trump 2.0."Democracy is at risk," he said, later adding, "Now, we have to fight that back in every single way."Go deeper: Resistance backlash upends Chuck Schumer's book tour

A defiant Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer vowed that he won’t step aside as the chamber’s top Democrat, rejecting calls from some House colleagues and liberal advocates critical of his move to help pass a Republican funding bill.“Look, I’m not stepping down,” Schumer said in a pretaped interview that aired Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”Schumer told moderator Kristen Welker he knew there “would be a lot of controversy” when he cast his vote to prevent a shutdown. But he maintains that while the GOP’s six-month bill was “certainly bad,” a shutdown “would be 15 or 20 times worse.”“Under a shutdown, the executive branch has sole power to determine what is ‘essential.’ And they can determine without any court supervision. The courts have ruled it’s solely up to the executive what to shut down,” he said, warning that the Trump administration “would eviscerate the federal government.”“On Day 2, they could say, ‘Oh, SNAP? Feeding hungry children? Not essential.’ On Day 4, ‘Mass transit? All transit? Aid to the states? Not essential. We’re cutting it.’ On Day 6, ‘Medicaid? We’ll cut that by 20%, 30%, 50%, 80%. We’ll go after Social Security. We’ll go after the veterans.’ Their goal is to just eviscerate the federal government so they can give more taxes, and their tax cuts ... to their billionaire class over there,” he said.“Sometimes when you’re a leader, you have to do things to avoid a real danger that might come down the curve. And I did it out of pure conviction as to what a leader should do and what the right thing for America and my party was. People disagree.”It’s up to Democratic senators to choose their leader, and none of them have called on Schumer to quit a post that he has held for more than eight years. But some have entertained questions about whether it’s time for a re-examination. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., told a constituent at a town hall last week that “we’re going to have future conversations about all the Democratic leadership.”Schumer also rejected comparisons to then-President Joe Biden’s refusal to step down as the 2024 nominee, in response to a question about whether he’s making the same mistake.“No, absolutely not. I did this out of conviction. And, look, in my caucus, we have a disagreement as to, you know, some people voted one way, some people voted the other. But we’ve all agreed to respect each other because each side saw why the other side felt so strongly about it. And our caucus is united in fighting Donald Trump every step of the way,” Schumer said.He responded to a suggestion from former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., that the Senate Democrats who voted to break a filibuster gave their votes without getting anything. “What we got, at the end of the day, is avoiding the horror of a shutdown,” Schumer said.CongressMar 18How Congress could — but probably won't — impeach a federal judgeCongressMar 5Speaker Mike Johnson's chief of staff arrested on DUI charge after Trump speechSchumer said President Donald Trump has put the U.S. in a constitutional crisis as he escalates attacks on the judiciary and faces allegations from judges that he defied court orders.“Look, this is an extraordinary moment. It does require extraordinary action. If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory that we haven’t been in for a very long time, and our entire democracy, this whole beautiful enterprise of democracy that we’ve had for over 240 years, is at risk. And look, I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up,” he said. “Democrats will fight it in every single way.”Schumer also discussed his new book “Antisemitism in America: A Warning” during the interview, saying he wrote it because he’s concerned that antisemitism is on the rise again.“I aimed it at both the hard right, and we’ve seen how viciously antisemitic they could be, but also at the hard left. I felt, as a progressive, I could talk to them about how some of their anti-Israel activity — I might disagree with it, but they’re certainly entitled to do it, and it is not antisemitic — has been sliding over into direct antisemitism,” Schumer said. “I would like all of America to read this. So I hope it will be reading in colleges and in high schools to learn, teach people the history. ... I believe the best antidote to antisemitism is education.”Schumer, who is the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in the United States, said it’s “possible” there will be a Jewish president in his lifetime, because “glass ceilings are broken every day.”This article originally appeared on NBCNews.com.

Democratic Rep. Glenn Ivey of Maryland called for the replacement of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer following his support for the GOP spending bill that advances President Donald Trump’s assault on the federal government.xxYouTube VideoDuring a town hall meeting at Suitland High School in Forestville, Maryland, Ivey told voters that it’s “critical” for Democrats to block legislation written by Republicans.“I was deeply disappointed that Senator Schumer voted with the Republicans,” he said, noting that House Democrats, led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, nearly unanimously opposed the bill.“You know you’re on bad ground when you get a personal tweet from Donald Trump thanking you for your vote,” Ivey added, referring to Trump’s Truth Social post congratulating Schumer for “doing the right thing.”Describing Schumer’s vote as “on the other side,” Ivey then concluded, “I’m afraid that it may be time for the Senate Democrats to pick new leadership as we move forward.”The audience responded with loud applause.Ivey is the first Democrat to openly call for Schumer to step down, but others previously voiced displeasure with his recent actions.Senate Minority Leader Chuck SchumerRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York referred to a “deep sense of outrage and betrayal,” while Rep. Becca Balint of Vermont said Schumer was “misreading this moment.” Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas said the action highlighted the need for “younger, fresher” leadership for the party.Perhaps more damning is the response from longtime Schumer ally, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who condemned his vote, saying that he gave away his support “for nothing,” since Democrats did not secure any concessions from Republicans.By contrast, Senate Democrats have not been as critical of Schumer. Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut told “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker that Schumer should lead the party caucus but “we need to have a conversation inside the caucus about whether we are willing to stand up to Republicans.”Schumer is in the middle of a book tour while the Trump administration continues to ignore rulings from the federal judiciary. Responding to criticism of his vote, Schumer told the “The View” hosts that “I should be the leader,” comparing himself to an orchestra conductor.And in an appearance on MSNBC, Schumer argued that U.S. democracy is not quite in peril because Trump has yet to disobey the Supreme Court.“We’re not there yet,” he said, despite the massive upheaval currently rocking the world.Meanwhile, federal judges have already cited constitutional violations in the Trump administration, and voters have clearly expressed their frustration with Democrats’ weakness.Campaign Action

A new presidential order that takes aim at a San Francisco achievement Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was instrumental in seeing through opened up a fresh clash between President Donald Trump and the former House speaker.A new Trump executive order takes aim at a 1,500-acre national park set on a former military base that boasts sprawling views of the Golden Gate Bridge, according to Politico. The order calls for funding to be ripped from the Presidio Trust, the agency that oversees the historic landmark's scenic grounds.The move is widely seen as “an act of political retribution,” though Pelosi characterized it Thursday as “a distraction” to draw attention away from Republican plans to cut Medicaid, which she said is unpopular.“We’re here to talk about Medicaid, Mr. President,” Pelosi said, according to Politico. “We will not be distracted with other things. He called himself a king the other day. Really? King of what? Anyway, the emperor has no clothes as far as I’m concerned.”ALSO READ: 'Gotta be kidding': Jim Jordan scrambles as he's confronted over Musk 'double standard'Pelosi said the agency, created in the 1990s, was protected under an act of Congress.“I don’t take it personally if he wants to insult something as innovative and wonderful as the Presidio,” the former House speaker told the New York Times. “There are some people who don’t believe in urban parks. We believe in urban parks, and that’s why we have the Presidio.”A former Presidio Trust member echoed Pelosi’s position. “It’s not going away, it cannot be eliminated by one person,” Marie Hurabiell told Politico.Other San Francisco residents were equally roiled by the president’s escalation of the notoriously fraught relationship between him and Pelosi. “He’s not just targeting the trust,” city Supervisor Stephen Sherrill is quoted as saying. “He’s not just targeting Speaker Pelosi. He’s targeting all San Franciscans.”

Billionaire Elon Musk targeted members of Congress who enjoy rising wealth amounts while in office, which comes as retail traders place larger emphasis on politicians’ stock and options trading activity.What Happened: Members of Congress can buy and sell stocks, options and cryptocurrency as long as they disclose the transactions in a timely manner.This activity has drawn increased scrutiny in recent years as trades made by members of Congress often appear to be conflicts of interest based on non-public knowledge and can sometimes be stocks related to government-funded contracts.A post that discussed several prominent members of Congress with their annual salaries and net worths caught the attention of Musk, who is currently the world's richest person worth $379 billion."It's not like these politicians started companies or were NBA All-Stars, so where did they get all the money? Does anyone know?" Musk tweeted.The quoted tweet included the following members of Congress:Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.): Annual salary $223,000, Net worth $202 millionMitch McConnell (R-Ky.): Annual salary $200,000, Net worth $95 millionChuck Schumer (D-N.Y.): Annual salary $210,000, Net worth $75 millionElizabeth Warren (D-Mass.): Annual salary: $285,000, Net worth $67 millionThe replies included a post from the original poster with additional examples of politicians who have net worths of more than $50 million."I am not suggesting anything. Make your own conclusions," the poster tweeted.The annual salaries in the post could include other sources of income and may not be strictly their Congressional salary.The post also doesn't take into account how much the net worth of members of Congress was before they took office or what their spouses do.Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi is a ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

Survey Says is a weekly column rounding up three of the most important polling trends or data points you need to know about. You’ll also find data-based updates on past Daily Kos reporting, plus a vibe check on a trend that’s driving politics.Trump’s unpopular plan for GazaPresident Donald Trump stunned the world on Tuesday when he proposed that the U.S. seize the Gaza Strip and displace the 2 million Palestinians living there. As always, it’s impossible to gauge how serious he is. On Wednesday, the White House press secretary ludicrously called the proposal an “out-of-the-box idea” toward Trump’s goal of “lasting peace in the Middle East.”Either way, Americans are skeptical, to say the least. The plurality of Americans (47%) oppose the U.S. “taking ownership” of the Gaza Strip, according to a new YouGov survey. Just 22% back the idea. xDatawrapper ContentWhile Republicans are more likely than Democrats to support the proposal, the idea still isn’t that popular with the GOP. Twenty-nine percent of Republicans and 57% of Democrats oppose the plan. Additionally, 49% of independents oppose it.This lack of domestic approval for Trump’s idea tracks with its international condemnation. Even some GOP lawmakers haven’t been defending it. These dissenters haven’t phased Trump, though. On Thursday, he defended his proposal, saying Gaza “would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting.”Trump the president vs. Trump the manDespite Trump’s cruel and idiotic Gaza plan, Americans are rosier about the job he’s doing as president than they are about him as a person.As of Friday at 12 PM ET, 538’s polling averages have Trump’s net favorability at -0.6 percentage points (46.9% favorable, 47.5% unfavorable) but his net job approval at +5.6 points (49.2% approve, 44.7% disapprove). That said, this approval rating is historically bad since presidents usually enjoy a “honeymoon” period shortly after inauguration.What should we make of this? Well, it could be that Americans like many of Trump’s policies more than him personally. For instance, Americans are veering to the right on certain immigration policies. In December, 53% of registered voters supported mass deportations, while 46% opposed the idea, according to Civiqs polling for Daily Kos.xDatawrapper ContentSome of Trump’s other immigration policies are relatively popular too. The latest Civiqs poll for Daily Kos finds that 53% of registered voters support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducting raids in major cities. Forty-six percent oppose that idea.A large majority of the public is also sympathetic to limiting gender-affirming care for minors. In a January survey from Ipsos for The New York Times, 71% of Americans said no one under the age of 18 should have access to puberty-blocking drugs or hormone therapy. And a plurality (49%) agreed that “society has gone too far in accommodating transgender people”—a result that aligns with Trump’s proclamation that there are only two biological sexes (though scientists largely disagree).Taken together, this data suggests the country is leaning to the right on some high-profile issues—at least for now.But even for people who like his politics, there are many reasons to dislike Trump personally. For one, people think he uses social media too much. A YouGov survey from late January found that a plurality of Americans (36%) think he posts to social media “too often,” while only 4% want him to do it more.Trump and his allies have also toyed with him running for a third term, and generally speaking, Americans aren’t keen on him bending the rules for his benefit. For instance, he’s promised to seek vengeance against those whom he thinks have wronged him, but the New York Times/Ipsos poll found that 73% of Americans oppose Trump using the government to investigate and prosecute his enemies. Plus, not all of Trump’s ideas are popular. Poll after poll shows that Americans oppose ending birthright citizenship and Trump’s repeated instigation of a global trade war, among his other executive orders and plans.Americans hate politics—and a lot of politiciansPolitics tend to make people feel exhausted or hopeless, so it’s no surprise that Americans have a less-than-cheery view of politicians.A new Gallup survey asked Americans’ opinions on 14 politicians or Trump-aligned figures, and half had net-negative favorability. That includes four prominent Democrats: Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. Only one Democrat—House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries—has a net-positive favorability, and even then, the plurality of Americans (37%) have no opinion on him.Three Republicans or Trump administration figures were underwater too.Several recent surveys have shown that people don’t like billionaire Elon Musk, who heads up the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (an advisory commission, not a real department). And Gallup has further confirmation of that: Just 43% of Americans have a positive view of him, while 47% do not. Embattled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wasn’t beloved, either. In fact, he has the highest net-unfavorable rating of any Trump-aligned figure Gallup asked about: 22% favorable, 29% unfavorable. That said, a near-majority of Americans (49%) has no opinion on him.The third major Trump-world figure Americans aren’t fond of is ... Trump himself. For now, his “honeymoon” period has been average at best, and Gallup has him at 48% unfavorable and 50% unfavorable. Meanwhile, the latest Civiqs poll for Daily Kos found that just 45% of registered voters approved of the job Trump is doing as president, while a majority (52%) did not.Gallup conducted its poll shortly after Inauguration Day, so rosy-ish opinions of Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s pick to be director of national intelligence, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s nominee for health secretary, are likely to wane as the public gets to know them better. After all, not only are they deplorable figures, but also they each only narrowly earned the approval of the Senate committees needed to push their nominations to the floor for a final vote. And getting them that far took a fair deal of outsize pressure (i.e., bullying). Any updates?Daily Kos is all over Elon Musk as he tries to wreck the federal government. And not only are people souring on Musk, but new polling from YouGov shows that 48% of Americans think he has too much influence in Trump’s administration, compared with 29% who think he has the right amount of influence and just 3% (!) who want him to have more.Remember when conservatives defended Musk after he threw up two Nazi salutes on Inauguration Day? The latest Civiqs poll for Daily Kos finds that 86% of Democrats (correctly) consider it Nazi salute—but 87% of Republicans say it was not. As we’ve noted, egg prices are skyrocketing, and now even beloved chain Waffle House has announced it will add a surcharge to eggs. Turns out, nearly equal shares of Republicans (77%) as Democrats (76%) are dissatisfied with the price of eggs, according to Civiqs. Vibe checkVoters feel a lot of ways about the direction of the nation. According to Civiqs as of Friday, just 22% of registered voters are hopeful about the way things are going, while 17% are scared, 14% are depressed, and 15% are angry. Notably, there was an uptick in registered voters who are excited (13%) following November’s election, but that’s largely due to Republicans’ changing mood. Campaign Action

Minnesota state party chair Ken Martin was elected on Saturday as the next leader of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) after securing a majority of the 448 DNC committee members’ votes.
02/01/2025 --axios
Ken Martin was elected on Saturday to serve as the next chair of the Democratic National Committee, putting him at the helm of a party trying to rebuild its image after a disappointing 2024 cycle. Why it matters: Martin, the longtime chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, wants to help the party get "back to basics" with a revamped messaging strategy aimed at winning back working-class voters who have drifted to the right.Martin, considered a favorite heading into the Saturday vote, beat out fellow midwesterner Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler and half a dozen other candidates. Driving the news: In the crowded race for DNC chair, Martin's pitch zeroed on his winning record as chair of the Minnesota DFL. In the 14 years in charge, his party did not lose a single statewide race, giving him a 25-0 record.Martin wants to take his winning state record to the national level, a message that clearly resonated with Democrats still reeling from losses up and down the ballot on Nov. 5."My record is unrivaled and unmatched in terms of winning elections and building power around the issues we care about," Martin told the Minnesota Reformer.Martin demonstrated his strong fundraising prowess as DFL chair, a skill that he'll now need to leverage at the national level. Fundraising is one of the biggest jobs for the DNC chair.Between the lines: As a longtime party leader and DNC vice chair, Martin locked up support among party officials across the country but bigger names were split over who to support.Wikler drew the public backing of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other big names like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.The big picture: The race for DNC chair comes after an election cycle that put President Trump in the White House and Republicans in control of both houses of Congress. As DNC chair, Martin will help lead the party's strategy and messaging, including by appearing on media himself to represent the party. He will also have influence over setting the order for the 2028 Democratic primary, which could see Minnesota moving up its spot in the calendar.
