Chuck Schumer Rules Out Stepping Down with Bidenesque Steadfastness

Hm, wait a sec, Biden wound up stepping down, right?

When Schumer pressured him to, and presented him with the real polling figures (which allegedly were hidden from Biden by his "subordinates") showing that he would lose over 400 electoral votes.

WELKER: All right. Well, I do want to move to some of the discussions on Capitol Hill. Because of your decision, Leader Schumer last week, to clear the way to pass a Republican funding bill and avoid a government shutdown, you have faced calls from outside groups, even members of your own party, to step aside as minority leader. When asked about your future at a town hall, Senator Michael Bennet said, quote, "It`s important for people to know when it`s time to go." Leader Schumer, are you feeling pressure to step down?

SCHUMER: Look, I`m not stepping down. And let me just say this, Kristen. I knew when I cast my vote against the C -- against the government shutdown that it would be -- that there would be a lot of controversy. And there was. But let me tell you and your audience why I did it, why I felt it was so important. The CR was certainly bad, you know, the continuing resolution. But a shutdown would be 15 or 20 times worse.

This is causing all sorts of disarray for the Marxists. Bernie Sanders quit an interview when he was asked if he would support AOC's likely primary challenge against Schumer.

the reason Bernie stormed off is because he knows he'd endorse Schumer over AOC if it came to it, just as he shamelessly chose the establishment over voting for Tulsi
