Chuck Schumer Should Stop Talking

Dan Pfeiffer: “For as angry as people are at the eight Democrats who voted for the deal, they are even angrier at Chuck Schumer. The Democratic Leader voted against the deal, but who are we kidding. There are only two options here — and neither is good for Schumer. Either Schumer was tacitly okay with this deal or Schumer was too weak to stop 17% of his caucus from cutting a deal with Republican leadership and the Trump White House. If I had to place a bet, it would be on the former.”

“Schumer wants to have it both ways — open the government and be seen as opposing opening the government. It’s too cute by half, much like his refusal to endorse Zohran Mamdani or even say whom he voted for.”
