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.
Take the deal and then run anyway.
