Senator Chuck Schumer is increasingly looking like a dead man walking.
Less than a week after Schumer brokered a deal to end the government shutdown, Democrats are still seething mad at this supposed betrayal.
Speaking in New Hampshire over the weekend, Booker was asked about Schumer’s continued position as Senate Minority leader.
Chuck Schumer’s generation, Nancy Pelosi’s generation, John Lewis’s generation, they have so much to be proud of,” he said.
“It is time, though, for new leadership. The other generations, X, Millennials, Z, it’s time for us to step up. The stage is waiting for us to lead.”
WOW! Chuck Schumer is FUMING after the calls to replace him are GROWING among Congressional Democrats
“Do you think Democrats believe Chuck Schumer should be the face of the future of the Democratic Party?! Of course not!”

Booker joins a growing chorus of Democrats calling for Schumer to step aside, becoming the first senator to do so.
Several House Democrats have already expressed the same view, among them Reps. Ro Khanna of California, Ayanna Pressley and Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, Delia Ramirez of Illinois, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
”Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced,” Khanna wrote last week.
“If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?|

According to a recent report from Politico, Schumer intends to fight on as Senate leader until at least the end of his term, which runs until 2028.
Their report stated:
The liberal pushback comes as Schumer, 74, faces larger questions about his long-term political future. Progressives are dreaming of a 2028 primary challenge, and he has repeatedly declined to say whether or not he will run for a sixth Senate term.
Instead, Schumer insists he’s keeping his focus on the 2026 midterm elections — and a chance of once again becoming majority leader.
While many Senate Democrats expressed frustration with the outcome of the shutdown fight, there is no appetite for an immediate Schumer ouster, according to five people granted anonymity to discuss internal caucus dynamics.
And so, the Democratic Party’s civil war rolls on.
