    I’m convinced Chuck is gonna retire and they will clear the field for her to take his seat, in exchange for a pledge to not run for President and interfere with Gavin’s coronation. He’s the Next One Up, after all…

    Maybe after a term or three in the Senate the old misogynists will have died off and a Presidential candidate with a vagina can get elected.

      I will never again hold my nose to vote. I think many progressives agree with me.

        This so much! They actual left needs to start playing dirty because we’re fighting two fronts, the actual fascists and the embedded institutions of neoliberal status quo

        Schumer isn’t up for reelection until 2028, so that wouldn’t really work. She would need to pick one or the other, she can’t run for both simultaneously.

          You can’t hold both positions at the same time, but I think being on the ballot for multiple positions varies from state to state, not sure how it is in NY?

          in 2008, Biden was running for VP and for his Senate seat, winning both. He was sworn in as Senator and then resigned like a week later before being sworn in as VP.

            Right, but if the plan is for her to convince the Democrats to clear the senate primary field gor her, then run for president anyway…well, they’re probably figure out she lied when she announces her presidential run, and i bet they’ll find some centrists to run for Schumer’s seat. If she wrre taking Schumer’s seat this cycle, she could then lie about not seeking the presidency and run in two years, but that’s not the timeline.

      I would like her to beat Schumer on merit though, just for the message it’ll send to the incumbent democrats who have sat on their ass for the last 3 administrations.

      I can think of 100 people I would vote for over Manchurian MAGA Newsome. He was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle, Don Jr’s Ex. That’s all I need to know. Clearly these jackals are all part of the same herd.

      She should take it, renege, and then have Mamdani take her Senate seat when she takes President. Give those DNC shitbags a real one-two punch, lol.
