Senator, given this, given that so many Democrats are calling for Leader Schumer to step aside, can he be an effective leader? Yes, Chuck has been an effective leader. Remember when Chuck was majority leader during the Biden administration? He produced a string of legislative wins with a bare majority nearly unparalleled in recent history. Infrastructure, the American rescue plan, the inflation reduction act, fixed fixing, the Electoral College, first gun safety bill in 25 years, an important veterans legislation. Being the minority leader is tough in the Senate. We have some tools in minority, but not many. We don't control what's on the floor. (09:19–09:43)
