Matt Gagnon discusses the aftermath of the government shutdown and its impact on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Despite widespread criticism and calls for his resignation from progressive groups and some House Democrats, Schumer did not vote for the bipartisan deal. This contrasts with his support for a GOP-written stopgap in March, which also faced backlash. Schumer, 74, faces questions about his future, with some hoping for a 2028 primary challenge. Gagnon notes that Schumer’s unpopularity is not limited to the opposition party, as even his own caucus members criticize him. He contrasts Schumer’s leadership style with that of more amiable figures like Mike Johnson and John Thune.
