I don't think she's announced anything. Schumer is up for re-election in 2028. I can't imagine he'd run again, and I do think it is her seat for the taking.

The only thing that might derail her is if Mamdani fails miserably. I believe that any successes that Mamdani has in NYC will
give ALL progressive Democrats and progressive ideas a boost.

And I don't think he is going to fail miserably. New Mexico just voted for universal daycare. These are policies that make sense and can be enacted.

I want AOC to take Schumer's seat. It would be such a LMFAO moment.

It was probably nine months ago that I read an article talking about how Democratic leaders were trying to deemphasize the effectiveness of Pete Buttigieg. It was thought that Buttigieg was too effective and supporting him would make him the de facto leader of the Democratic party, giving him an advantage in 2028.

I absolutely believe that Schumer's ineffectiveness is because he is seeking neutrality for 2028. How stupid can the guy be? How stupid can all of them be?

If leadership wants to be neutral, then they should find a way to give everyone an opportunity to effectively communicate rather than seeking to silence them. Schumer is pathetic.

We also - especially the Democratic party - need to understand the 10th Amendment.

In 2024, the impact of Dobbs was overestimated. The promised Roevember did not happen - at least on a federal level. Voters did come out at a state level. Almost every reproductive rights referendum on state ballots.

We need to look to 10th Amendment and states as safeguards against federal overreach.
