Through 2025, the Senate Minority Leader Chak Shumar (DN.Y.) is an incarnation of the leader of the type of leader who does not clearly want the basis of his party.
A New Reuters-IPSOS Pol It was found that 62 percent of self-reliant Democrats agreed that “the leadership of the Democratic Party should be replaced with new people.” And the major conclusions of that survey indicate that the Shoomar is the party’s most out-of-step leader.
Polls have shown that a large part of the Democrats wants to reduce the “corporate effect” to elected officials, while more than 86 percent of “changing the federal tax code, so rich Americans and large corporations pay more in taxes, priority should be priority.”
But Shumar’s record symbolizes corporate effects. For decades, they have given priority to protect the financial interests of rich and big corporations.
Shumor swore off After that not to step on one side Infected with huge wholesale Congress’s Democrat with his vote for the expenditure bill of President Trump in March. That vote also provoked Democrats at the ground level across the country, at the point that they felt that they forced them Stop suddenly A adjacent, long -planned publicity tour for his new book that month.
In fact, Shumar has become a non -Gretta personality among its party voters in many blue states. More than three months after its “postponed” book tour, it has not been re -determined – Senate’s top Democrats across the country are careful with photo opes of protests against them by Democrats across the country. He remains the top Democrats in the Senate at one time when he is deeply unpopular among the voters eager to lead to the fight against the Trump administration.
If the Senate Democrats are serious about reversing their party’s tailspine and improving their public image, they should emphasize ending Shumor’s tenure as a minority leader. This is the time for Democratic colleagues to keep their foot down instead of avoiding the senior Senator of New York.
Shumor’s behavior is contrary to the example set by Rape Nancy Palosi (D-Calif). When the Democrats lost the control of the House in January 2023, Pelosi lost the speaker’s gall, she could take the post of a minority leader, but was chosen instead to step into one side.
But when the Democrats lost control of the Senate in early January of this year, he chose Shumar as a majority leader, he chose to become a minority leader. Now, by sticking to that post, the Shumar party’s ability is damaged by its failures and its ability to rebound its current. Sudden approval rating,
Unwanted surname of Shumor – “Wall Street to Senator” – Old And WorthyHe reached new heights as a corporate US champion on Capital Hill during the 2008 financial crisis, when he became one of the first officers to promote Wall Street Bellout, as “as” Informed By New York Times. Shumar “was playing an unmatched role in Washington, in the form of beneficiaries, advocates and overseer of an industry which is the most important business of their hometown.”
Falling 2009, More than 15 percent From Wall Street to all senators, he himself went to Shumor in the contribution of the year.
Shumor has been closely associated with a lot of corporate interests since then most Democratic voters do not want party leaders to serve. Meanwhile, areas such as banking, real estate, finance and The Tobacco Industry have sent a flood of donation of appreciation to the campaign coffers of Shumar.
At the end of 2024, the campaign committee of Shumar Informed A six -year -old donor of about 43 million dollars. Out of that clan, more than one-fourth of the securities and investment companies, real estate interests, law firms and lawyers came from.
Whereas Those mentors and other major backcards Probably happy with Shoomar’s ability, many of their own components want them to be out of the Senate leadership. In April, a marist pole found that 53 percent New Yorkers feel that they should abandon the position of their minority leader.
Here is how the democratic group passes the torch at the ground level It has been told Earlier this year: “Chak Shumar is unwilling and unable to fulfill this moment. His only work is to fight fascist acquisition of the Maga of our democracy – instead, he is directly enabling it. Americans are capable of standing for Trump.”
Shumor is the most powerful symbol of how the current Democratic Party has lost contact with voters with its base, which will be important to make a profit in the midnight election next year and will re -receive the White House in 2028. Continuing to continue them as the biggest spokesperson for Senate Democrats, for a time for a time, for a time for a time, which is for a time for a time, which is the most for a time.
Every two years, we hear how the results of the federal elections will rest on the voting. Nevertheless, the fact that Shumor is entangled as the top democrats in the Senate, indicating that the party is ready to suppress its voter voting rather than shaking its power structure in the Congress.
As long as Shumor’s choice is running the Democratic show on Capital Hill, Trump’s party is very low to worry.
