Schumer says he’s staying put amid growing resignation pressure

“Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he’s ‘not stepping down’ from leadership in an interview aired Sunday amid mounting pressure from within his party to abandon his post. He’s remaining defiant as Democratic lawmakers and outside groups pile on calls for him to step aside. But Schumer, who dealt a key blow to former President Biden’s reelection bid, argued he’s ‘absolutely’ not making the same mistake Biden did when he hesitated to step down. … Despite Schumer’s public confidence, some House Democrats are urging their colleague Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) behind closed doors to challenge him for his Senate seat in 2028.” (03/23/25)
