Progressive group calls for Senate Dems to replace Schumer as leader
After Democrats won both chambers in the 2026 midterms, the progressive group Indivisible called on Senate Democrats on 4 November to replace Chuck Schumer as leader, citing his faltering approval ratings and an NBC News poll finding only 13 percent of voters view his leadership positively. Several newly elected Senate Democrats, including James Talarico and Chris Pappas, have declined to commit to backing Schumer, and some in Michigan, Kansas, Illinois, and Maine say they will not support him.
