Schumer Plots a 'Durable Majority’ That Flirts With 60 Seats
Paul Kane reports in The Washington Sun that Chuck Schumer, fresh off Democrats' largest Senate gain since 1958, is mapping a 2028 target list aiming at a filibuster-proof 60-seat majority, with popular bills on costs, corruption, and health care to be brought up one by one. His hold on the leadership is contested: Bernie Sanders and Elissa Slotkin are calling for a younger generation to take over, only Chris Van Hollen has entertained a challenge, and Kane writes the discontent centers on assuring a transition rather than ousting him.
