Why Chuck Schumer Could Be in Trouble

Aaron Blake: “To lead your party in either the House or the Senate is to consent to being disliked. The difficult and often thankless job involves wrangling disparate interests in your caucus, making hard decisions and sometimes falling on a political grenade or two for your side. So it should be no surprise that most recent congressional leaders were pretty unpopular.”

“But even against that backdrop, Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) is in a bad spot.”
