Schumer Quietly Nails Down the Left

Politico: “With Schumer at the helm of the Senate, the prospect of a left-wing challenge next year stands to play a major role in shaping the legislation that comes out of Washington. That applies whether or not Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pulls the trigger, at least for the next few months.”

“The two-term congresswoman is seriously considering campaigning for the seat but is so far undecided… Multiple sources said her decision will be contingent on how Schumer wields power with his new Democratic majority in the upcoming months: Will he be pushed around by Mitch McConnell? Or will he work to pass ambitious, progressive legislation favored by the left?”
