His decision was framed by several allies and people in his inner circle as putting him in the strongest possible position to seek the presidency, and based on a belief it would be exceedingly difficult to run successive campaigns in 2026 and 2028.
The movement to have AOC primary Schumer in 2028 is currently getting quite a bit of buzz and some push polling. We’ll see if he changes his behavior to reduce the threat of that.
Putting in my prediction that there will be massive electoral shenanigans, worse than we’ve seen to date. At a minimum, there will be a harsh intensification of voter suppression tactics, voter roll purges, reduced/eliminated early and absentee voting, strict pre-registration & voter ID, etc.
MAGA will both change laws where they can and break them where they can’t, because they don’t care about court rulings or what is legal or just.
We don’t have enough actual evidence of the GOP enacting laws that restrict voting access, breaking laws (like sending fake electors) and downright rejecting election results (Jan 6) to ALL AGREE THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO THOSE THINGS?
