“Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is on the cusp of leading his party to midterm victory and reclaiming his title as Senate majority leader,” Axios reports.
“Winning the majority isn’t guaranteed. But this son of Brooklyn, who has been in public life for 52 years, is more than favored to win a secret ballot to remain Democratic leader.”
“At age 75 (76 by the time the new Congress convenes in January), Charles Ellis Schumer, an old-school pol who visits all 62 of New York’s counties every year, looks poised to do what very few people do in life — go out on top.”
