Heidi Li FeldmanFolks, it doesn’t matter that Schumer voted “no”. He got the Dem caucus on board with caving. THEN the caucus figured out who should vote yes to provide cover for D Sens up for reelection in 2026, who might have been in serious danger of being primaried. As for the retiring D Senators, doing their colleagues this favor now serves their interest in post-retirement lobbying access and influence. 1/
The Lack Thereof 
@heidilifeldman
This gives Schumer too much credit IMO. He's never shown the ability to convince his caucus to do anything or marshall votes.
But he's trash and still needs to go. Yesterday if not sooner.
