Senate Democrats will not let Trump put a 'right-winger' on the Supreme Court, Schumer vows
An AP article reports that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, speaking after Democrats won a decisive Senate majority in the 3 November 2026 midterms, vowed Democrats will not let Donald Trump put "a right-winger" on the Supreme Court and will block "any crappy nominees" to courts and the Cabinet. He credits the wins to his candidate recruitment, a focus on lowering costs, and Trump's tariffs and war with Canada, though some senators, like Chris Van Hollen and Peter Welch, say Democrats need to discuss new leadership.
