25. Gotta love the understatement in there...

"These results signal potential vulnerability for Schumer, the 74 year old Senate Democratic leader who has held his seat for over two decades."

Ya think?

Also understated:
The polling data suggests growing dissatisfaction within the Democratic base, particularly concerning Schumer's response to rising antisemitism and his leadership during recent political challenges.

I think we are past the point of this "suggesting" growing dissatisfaction within the Democratic base. Her following, along with Bernie Sanders, is a clear indication of it. They're getting something done when no one else is.

I think a wave is coming, a big blue one, which will sweep a lot of Trumpers right out of office in a big way, and will replace them with a lot of progressives who lean to the left but who aren't jumping right into Democratic party politics. And they're going to make the old guard either follow their lead, or get out of the way.
