Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont made a statement today, where he explained that he does not support making Chuck Schumer the Democrat Senate leader.
It’s Bernie’s party now.
When you look at the crop of far left candidates who just won races across the country, they are far closer to the ideology of Bernie Sanders than Chuck Schumer, which is ironic considering Sanders is technically not even a member of the Democrat Party.
From NBC News:
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., announced Tuesday he won’t support Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to be majority leader for the next two years after Democrats’ big 2026 victories.
“I personally have known Chuck Schumer for over 30 years, and I like Chuck. [There’s] nobody who works harder than Chuck Schumer. But in my view, the time is now for change, and I will not be supporting Chuck to be re-elected as the Democratic leader,” Sanders said at a news conference.
Sanders, who is in line to chair the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, becomes a high-profile opponent with inside power and grassroots clout when it comes to Schumer’s staying on as leader.
Schumer has spent a decade as caucus leader and is vying for another two years after having led his party to a net pickup of at least seven Senate seats in the midterm elections, with Mississippi and Alaska still counting votes as two more prospects. Senate Democrats won’t elect their new leadership until next month.
The progressive wing of the party has been calling for Schumer to step aside, while some new Democratic senators haven’t committed to support him. He’ll need a majority of the caucus to win another term as leader.

And…here…we…go.
This is going to be a bloodbath between the socialists and the establishment within the Democrat Party.

Schumer insists he will be leader anyway.
REPORTER: “Senator Sanders just held a press conference where he said he cannot support you for leader. Senator Slotkin was with him…how do you respond to that?”

What Schumer and other Democrats don’t seem willing to admit, is that their party has been taken over by the Bernie wing.
