This is what he said, seems like a normal politician answer given the moment.

How many times has this happened to Schumer? Hell how many times did this happen with Reed? You keep trying to downplay but there wasn’t a question of who was gonna be majority leader after 2024 or 2022. It’s not just new members anymore calling for a new leader it’s the established figures who instead of rallying are keeping things open. Again didn’t happen last time or the time before or even time before that

I think most of it comes from online where people are angry but they don’t really understand how the system works. I also don’t know how much of it is people who maybe legitimately want change in the Democratic Party, and foreign actors/republicans/dsa who hate the democrats and will always blame them no matter who the leaders are

You’re right Elissa Slotkin is doing this for her handlers in China and Scott Colum is actually doing this on behalf of DSA you’re such a deep thinker. Tell me more how much the country is actually supper happy with the state of the Democratic Party and Chuck Schumer is actually super popular it’s just that his polling is being rat fucked pls tell me more.

I never claimed he was popular, but if these people like slotkin and sanders were serious they’d actually have a candidate (or run themselves) instead of Van Hollen who’s still thinking about it. I think it’s very likely that she’s just doing it to appease people like you.

“I have no evidence for this claim but I’m going to make it anyway because it gives me an out so I can downplay something that makes my guy look bad” that’s basically you rn.

And what’s your claim? It looks very likely that Schumer will be the majority leader, and this clamoring against him is just showing that the party isn’t unified in this moment.

The party isn’t unified let’s not play pretend. My claim was that Warner won’t commit to backing him that’s a verifiable fact.
