Senate Democrats are publicly divided over infrastructure strategy. The caucus’ most conservative senator openly rebelled against the party’s signature elections bill. And two of Chuck Schumer’s members keep clashing on military sexual assault reform.
It’s enough to invoke a bit of pity for the voluble New Yorker who holds the reins of a 50-50 Senate. There’s a growing feeling on the Hill that Democrats are already running out of time to deliver on years of promises.
As Schumer ally Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) put it: “Poor Chuck! He’s got the weight of the world on him.”
I have a two word, rhyming thought about Chuck that includes his name. Do you agree?
