“Chuck Schumer’s advice for Democrats staring at a long two or more years out of power: Just wait,” Semafor reports.
Said Schumer: “Trump will screw up.”
“The Senate minority leader and his 47-member caucus finally got their first major Trump administration stumble, after last week’s rescinding of a budget memo that froze huge swaths of government spending. That unexpected pullback inspired Schumer to call an audible, turning his strategy of coordinated hits on President Donald Trump’s blanket pardons of Jan. 6 defendants into a focused condemnation of Trump’s budgetary moves.”
He called Trump’s move “the best thing that’s happened” to Democrats this year, predicting it would be the first episode of many: “I didn’t know he’d screw up so soon. There’s a long way to go. This is going to be a pattern.”
