multiple times this article mentions that even some *centrist* House Dems are urging her to primary Schumer tonight

“We have time to correct course on this decision. Senate Democrats can vote no,” said Opposition Leader @aoc.bsky.social. “We can correct course, and that is the most important thing in front of us right now.” www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/p...

It's not in the article but I do find it funny that OP refers to her as "Opposition Leader"

Why would 'centrist' house dems trust a socialist?

lina-ozma.bsky.social•1 day ago

dems will screw her over just like they screwed bernie, because in the end dems bow to corperate.

I'd RUSH DONATE a quick $100 bucks with a MATCHING 7X DONATION right in Chuck's fucking face - I hope she does

I’m confused. Isn’t Schumer not up again till 2028?

sdfstu.bsky.social•1 day ago

the donations she would rake in tonight if she announced (for a primary three years from now) would be something

This possibility makes Schumer's current capitulation make a bit more sense. He could procure tens of millions in PAC funds and SuperPAC dark money, including those that support MAGA, with a popular progressive opponent who could be replaced by a Jared Golden or Ritchie Torres.

Disgusting to think about

usspcrichardandson.bsky.social•1 day ago

what? no it doesn't. Schumer is just a coward.

nikosleverenz.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm still trying to discern some sense in the pre-emptive capitulation.

Also not totally clear he is going to run again.

For years people have been saying she should stay in the House to build seniority but methinks that's going to be a waste of her profile

sprawlhater.bsky.social•1 day ago

Schumer gotta go

usspcrichardandson.bsky.social•1 day ago

yeah now that she didn't get Oversight I think it's logical to make a jump when the opportunity presents itself.

I can’t even imagine the amount of pressure that’s being put on those who are thinking of voting yes post Schumer’s announcement

This isn’t your typical high pressure vote. This is about what side of a major fissure opening inside the caucus you are on.

She's got astronomical levels of juice. Juice readings off the charts.

Can't emphasize enough how fucking insane it is that sitting members are encouraging a sitting member to primary the sitting fucking minority leader and then leaking it to the press

brklynmind.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why is that insane at all at this point?

Americans hate people who would surrender their friends and family to villains. Fighting and losing might make you a hero, but the leader who surrendered to evil will always be reviled.

She'll launch with a Pat Ryan endorsement, because man knows ball.

rev-avocado.bsky.social•1 day ago

Slash Antonio Delgado could announce tonight and also pull down a million bucks.

kfranzoni.bsky.social•1 day ago

Schumer just lost Brooklyn dad!!! Lol

Bro how badly do you have to read the room that self-described centrists are not only encouraging AOC to primary Chuck, but are ready TO CUT CHECKS FOR HER?!
