Senate Democrats running in key 2026 midterm races are publicly refusing to back Chuck Schumer for continued leadership, with at least one candidate flatly saying he will not support Schumer and others dodging the question entirely.
The U.S. Senate chamber erupted in laughter Tuesday evening after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) dismissed a New York Times/Siena College poll as “biased.” The poll found that 65 percent of registered voters opposed the Democrat-led government shutdown, compared to just 27 percent who supported it.
