“We are fighting on every front line to chase after Trump, and Democrats tend to do, especially when they have enemies like Trump. [House Minority Leader] Hakeem [Jeffries] And I’m working on this very closely… that Trump is taking things from the middle class to pay for the rich people’s tax cuts,” Schumer said.
Despite characterising Schumer as a strong alignment with Jefferies, House minority leaders refused to squeeze whether the Senate needed “new leadership” after Schumer on Thursday showed support to avoid a partial closure to hand over the GOP-backed government funding bill.
“And we have so many different areas to chase him. And we’re already defeating his numbers. We’re going to keep defeating them more and more. If you know, if his numbers are really low, he’s less popular and he’s going to have less authority,” Schumer continues. “That’s our job, we do it, and we have some big problems, with us standing up too… you have to do it in a clever way, not letting him drive you into a trap and your anger hurts you.”

“I’m focusing on beating Trump numbers, defeating his popularity and revealing what he’s done to America and what he does,” he said. “That’s my focus right now, and that’s what I’m focusing 24/7. You know, three years from now, it’s a long way to guess. I think my efforts with Trump will pay off.”
Nearly two-thirds of Democrats want Congressional lawmakers to avoid compromise with Trump, according to an NBC News poll.
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said on Monday that voters are exacerbating perceptions of Congressional Democrats.
“The view of Holy Toledo, ‘Voters’ Congressional Democrats: “Of all voters, we disapprove 68%,” Enten said. “And looking at the approved figures, it’s only 21%, even lower than the Democrats as a whole. That’s the lowest for Democrats, according to the Kinnipiac University vote.”
Enten also said, “Several Democrats have disapproved Congressional Democrats by 49%, with only 40% accepting them.” They call numbers “terrifying” for the party.
