Schumer Declares He's All-In on 24/7 Trump #Resistance As His Party Threatens to Boot Him Out of Leadership

Schumer is now vowing he will never, ever pass a Trump budget or CR again.

That's gonna be a problem down the road -- for the Democrats as well as Trump. The country is sick to death of 24/7/365 #Resistance.

They voted for Trump's agenda. If Democrats continue this, the public may will rebuke them in 2026.

But this is going to be a problem for us for the next year and a half:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asserted his party's role is to take down President Donald Trump's numbers as Democrats face a popularity crisis.

Polls published by CNN/SSRS and NBC News on Sunday found that the Democratic Party has hit all-time lows in popularity among voters -- 29% and 27% respectively -- while Trump's approval rating is tied with its highest point across both of his terms at 47%, per NBC News. Schumer, speaking on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," said that weakening Trump's popularity would help Democrats mitigate his ability to accomplish his agenda.

"We are fighting on all of the fronts to go after Trump, not have a circular firing squad, which Democrats tend to do, particularly when there's such an enemy as Trump, so that the basic premise that we are going after him on -- and [House Minority Leader] Hakeem [Jeffries] and I are working on this very closely together ... is that Trump is taking things away from the middle class, from you, to pay for tax cuts for the rich," Schumer said.

Despite Schumer characterizing himself as being in strong alignment with Jeffries, the House minority leader refused to weigh in on whether the Senate needed "new leadership" on Friday after Schumer on Thursday signaled support for passing a GOP-backed government funding bill to avert a partial shutdown.

"And we have so many different areas to go after him on. And we're already bringing his numbers down. We'll keep bringing them down more and more and more. If, you know, six months from now, his numbers are really low, he'll have not only less popularity, he'll have less authority," Schumer continued. "That's our job and we're doing it. And there are going to be some bigger issues where we're going to make a stand as well ... You got to do it in a smart way and not let him drive you into a trap and let your anger at him end up hurting you."

Schumer also made similar remarks during a Saturday New York Times interview when asked about potential primary challenges in New York in 2028.

"I am focused on bringing Trump's numbers down, his popularity down, exposing what he has done to America and what he will do," he said. "That's my focus right now and that's what I'm focusing on 24/7. You know, three years from now is a long way to speculate. I believe that my hard work against Trump will pay off."

Nearly two-thirds of Democrats want their congressional lawmakers to avoid making compromises with Trump, according to the NBC News poll.

Voters have even worse perceptions of congressional Democrats than the party in general, CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said on Monday.

"Holy Toledo, 'voters' views of the Democrats in Congress:' Among all voters, disapprove 68%," Enten said. "And look at the approved number, just 21%, even lower than the Democratic Party at large. This is the lowest on record for Democrats, according to Quinnipiac University polling."

Enten also stated that "the plurality of Democratic voters disapprove of Democrats in Congress at 49%, and just 40% approve." calling the numbers "horrible" for the party.

Schumer makes his fight-fight-fight pledge as the progressive extremist media issues a Code Red on Schumer, according to Ed Morrissey.

Ask not for whom the Journolist tolls, Chuck ... it tolls for thee.

Earlier, I wondered whether a revolt among House Democrats would impact Chuck Schumer's standing in party leadership. Perhaps we should pay more attention to Democrat house media. The backlash to Schumer's fold-o-rama on the continuing resolution has become a new talking point among the Left's favorite media outlets, from MSNBC on down.

The Daily Beast, for instance, took a break from smearing Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) to breathlessly report that the Democrats' "party civil war spirals." They covered the first demand from a House Democrat for Schumer to resign from leadership...

Politico follows up today to note how "Schumer bashing has gone mainstream." They also pick up on Ivey's demand, but reports that it's now open season on Schumer within the Democrat Party...

LOL, Politico thinks that until AOC got mad at him, bashing Schumer was not "mainstream," but fringe.

The Daily Beast took note of Schumer's treatment too, in an article titled "MSNBC Forces Chuck Schumer to Sit Through Brutal Supercut of His Critics." HuffPo featured Nancy Pelosi's attack on Schumer, reporting the "shade" she tossed his way as Politico also reported; The New Republic did as well earlier today. Salon reported on J.B. Pritzker's "liberal anger" over Schumer's fade.

It certainly looks like the Journolist Bat Signal has gone out.

Pelosi has knocked Schumer for a second time.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continued to criticize Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer Tuesday, suggesting he voluntarily relinquished Democrats' leverage in the government funding fight.

"I myself don't give away anything for nothing," Pelosi told reporters during a San Francisco town hall on Republican lawmakers' alleged cuts to Medicaid -- despite no existing proposal from GOP lawmakers to cut the entitlement program. "I think that's what happened the other day."

...

Some congressional Democrats have privately urged New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to launch a primary challenge against Schumer in 2028. Ocasio-Cortez has declined to rule out a Senate bid and has called on Schumer to retire at the end of his current term.

"Schumer has been in politics for a long time, and I would hope that this is his final term, and he opens it up for someone new," Ocasio-Cortez said.

Leftwing Narrative-Enforcement Organization Axios says that Schumer's standing with Democrats is lower than ebola.

Why it matters: Some House members are urging Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) behind closed doors to mount a primary bid against the New York senator in 2028.

"From the threads I am on, [people are] pissed off ... and not just the typical lefties," one House Democrat told Axios on the condition of anonymity to share details of members' private communications.

A senior House Democrat said of their colleagues' mood toward Schumer: "His popularity is hovering somewhere between Elon Musk and the Ebola virus."

A third House Democrat who represents a swing district, when asked about Schumer, responded sarcastically: "Who?"

...

The first House Democrat told Axios that people are "mainly venting" but also "talking a big game about supporting AOC" in a possible primary challenge.

A fourth House Democrat who spoke on the condition of anonymity described their colleagues' feelings toward Schumer as "big mad."

Zoom in: Schumer is under siege from Democrats' liberal grassroots, postponing stops on his book tour that groups like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee had planned to protest.

Indivisible, another liberal group, has publicly called on Schumer to step down as Senate Democratic leader.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said in a CNN interview that Senate Democrats should "sit down and take a look and decide whether or not Chuck Schumer is the one to lead in this moment."

Stupid busted-poon DEI skank Sonny Hostin cucked Schumer to his ugly mug.

2Way notes that when Democrats are asked if they still support Schumer, they offer evasions and equivocations like "we're not considering replacing him right now."

The Democrat Party is a hotbed of radical extremism, says Democrat Representative Seth Mouton.

DEMOCRAT ADMITS PARTY FAILING: BLAMES FAR LEFT CULTURE AUTHORITARIANS!

Rep. Seth Moulton plainly admitted the problems that the Democratic party is facing today on CNN 👇

He urges Democrats to not be "out of touch" with normal Americans and accuses the far-left contingent of his party of pushing hardcore political litmus tests while gatekeeping what it means to be a Democrat.

"We've become a party of people who preach down to others, who scold them, who say if you don't agree with me, you're not only wrong, but you're a bad person. I think all of us have heard that attitude from many national Democrats."

"Don't take these minority positions on on cultural issues and say, hey, if you don't meet this strict liberal litmus test, then you're not even a Democrat."

"I questioned whether...transgender women should compete on the same level as on girls sports teams. I got accosted! I got told by people, you're not even a Democrat! Well, that's the problem with our party."

"Behind the scenes...they all say it whispering because they're so afraid to say it out in public lest they be accosted by the liberal left in our party."
