Is Schumer in jeopardy of losing leadership of Senate Democrats?

Want to get with some politics, because we've got a lot going on out there, Robert Moses, when it comes to the world of politics. And I want to start with what's happening down in Washington, D.C. Obviously, there will be a lot of ceremonies today. We do expect President Trump to attend many of them, Vice President J.D. Vance. Certainly, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who was facing the possibility of impeachment. Thank you very much. Just real quick, what's the latest with that? Is he going to be impeached? Not in the immediate future. Republicans managed to block that effort yesterday. 211 to 204 was the vote. Interestingly, so seven vote margin there. But 11 Democrats missed the vote, including Laura Gillen, the Democrat from Long Island. She said that she got stuck behind a police convoy, wasn't able to get to the Capitol. She said she wasn't alone in that. But suffice it to say, if all 11 of those Democrats had voted, this could very well have gone a different way. So, Hegseth survives for now, but when the Democrats take control in January, with pretty sizable margins in both the House and the Senate, this impeachment effort could get revived. And, of course, leadership will be the ones who will have to decide whether or not it comes to the floor. Everyone expects that... Senator Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries will be at front and center for the Democrats. But, and a big but here, there is a growing sense of momentum. against Senator Chuck Schumer, and we've seen some high-profile Democrats who've come out against him. Yeah, I think that he still is in the driver's seat to become majority leader, but yesterday, Senator Bernie Sanders, along with Senator Alyssa Slotkin, both came out and said, essentially, in standing next to each other, that they think it's time for new leadership in the Senate. He, too, has... Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed from Michigan. And it's interesting because the Senator El-Sayed from Michigan is, in a sense, a face of this new wave of Democrats, many who were elected because they are anti-establishment, both on the Republican side and on the Democratic side. So this is going to be noisy. Yeah, certainly. And one of the alternative names to Schumer that's been bandied about is Senator Chris Van Hollen. He's not a whole lot younger than Schumer. Schumer is 75, Van Hollen is 67. But he is seen as more aligned with the progressive wing of the party. Schumer is a bit more centrist, maybe a bit more pragmatic. Again, I don't want to distort this issue. I still think that both Schumer and Jeffries are the... the frontrunners, but that doesn't mean that there isn't some pretty loud opposition to a Schumer majority leadership. All right, so we do have a piece of sound that we want to play. Tyler, we've got it queued up here. This is Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who in a lot of ways is the face of the godfather of the DSA, this new movement that certainly started back when he was running in 2015, when a lot of people became familiar with his name, and here he is. Coming out against Senator Schumer. Let's take a listen. I like Chuck. Nobody who works harder than Chuck Schumer. But in my view, the time is now for change. And I will not be supporting Chuck to be reelected as the Democratic leader. All right. So we heard from Bernie Sanders there. We also have a list of Slotkin as well. Do we have that piece of sound? I think we have them both perhaps on that same one. Yeah, here we go. I personally have known Chuck Schumer for over 30 years and I like Chuck, nobody who works harder than Chuck Schumer. But in my view, the time is now for change, and I will not be supporting Chuck to be re-elected as the Democratic leader. I have the same feeling about anyone who runs as I do about Senator Schumer. I want to see what that plan is. I want to see how it represents newer members. I want to see how it represents people across these new states who just won. And I would require that for anyone who says they're running. I don't think you heard. The senator or I make any personal attacks on Schumer or anybody else. This is a democracy. We believe in democracy. And that means a vigorous debate over the most important issues facing America. That is healthy. And we should open that discussion up, hear from the American people. In fact, my own view is, to tell you the truth, that if there is a contest, as I hope there will be, for majority leader, that we have that. You know, on one of the major television stations. Let the American people also tell us the direction that they want the Democratic Party to go in. But having a healthy, honest debate is a positive thing in my view. I think the time and the moment when you have... More income and wealth inequality than we've ever had in the history of this country. When our younger generation will have a lower standard of living than their parents, the time is now to deal with the need to create an economy that works for all, not just the people on top. And do I think Chuck has been leading in that direction? No, I don't. All right, so strong words there from Senator Bernie Sanders. Anything else we should know? We know who will lead the Republicans. Jim Jordan was elected to be minority leader in the House, and John Thune was re-elected in the Senate. All right. Robert Moses, thank you very much.
