AOC Hits Back At Chuck Schumer Ask Using 1 'Bigger' Focus

The congresswoman declared that Democrats can't "enable" the GOP's "cruelty with our cowardice."
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday sidestepped a reporter’s question about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who has faced backlash since moderate Senate Democrats agreed to reopen the government.
Ocasio-Cortez — when asked if Schumer, the least popular Democratic Senate leader in roughly four decades, should stay in the post — pointed to what’s “so important for folks to understand.”
“This problem is bigger than one person and it actually is bigger than the minority leader in the Senate,” she said. The congresswoman has been floated as a potential primary challenger to Schumer in 2028.
“You had eight Senate Democrats who coordinated their own votes on this as well as ... you have two retiring members, many of them are also up in several cycles from now with the hope that people are going to forget this moment.”
She stressed that a party leader is a “reflection of a party” and Senate Democrats select who to represent them.
