Summer can run for the other senate seat in 2030, so just two years later.

She’s House. This is for Senate.

Glad to hear Van Hollen’s changed his mind. There was no one running in opposition to Schumer. Plus he’s got a progressive streak.

He supports a nationwide billionaire tax. Damn.

This past election a number of centrists vocalized such a disdain for the left that they would rather a republican win than have a progressive win.
While he’s not well liked amongst his peers, Israel loves him so that might be enough to keep him in.
It will not be easy.

I was aware of that. My whole point is that 62 is the age the government decided when citizens can start to access retirement benefits, well then that’s when elected officials should serve their term by.

I say the oldest you can serve as an elected official should be 62, which is when the government itself says it’s time to withdraw social security benefits.
At the very least apply term limits for senators, governors, and judges.

Why was the turnout higher in 2018? Seems it should be higher now.

I realize now why he met with Kushner. I think he was jealous Mamdani had established a relationship with the President and as a result felt upstaged. So in his fragile little mind he thought meeting with Jared would demonstrate a similar type of political power.

Does the author realize that everyone ran on Mamdani’s affordability platform? Otherwise, they would have had nothing to offer other than being not Trump.

Mamdani tried this with him on the Sunnyside housing project proposal. Brought a fake newspaper with a headline that hailed him for building housing. So far nothing to show for yet.

I would definitely like to see Van Hollen replace Schumer. AOC for Speaker but can she do that and run a presidential campaign? The country would be able to see her executive experience at display. I just don’t know there are enough progressive supporters in both the Senate and House for this to become a reality.

This should be top of list for Dems come January. It should be addressed on Day 1.
