Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The election isn't until 2028. I doubt Chuck even runs again, he'll be 78. That Senate seat is likely AOC's to claim, as long as she doesn't run for President instead.

(And I bet that Senate seat will be her reward for not offering a primary challenge to Gavin Newsom....)

Per the article:

Schumer has filed paperwork to run for reelection.

Remember Dianne Feinstein. These mummies want to stay in power long, long after they should step down.

Of course he filed paperwork, that just lets him raise money. I expect him not to run, and spread the money around to candidates he likes....

Maybe he "stays in the race" for as long as it takes AOC to decide to not run for President ....

For real, I don't get why everyone is so excited over this. The political landscape will look very different in 2028 anyway.

The political landscape in 2028:

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Seems like an accurate prediction.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 2 points 21 hours ago

Also in 2025, 2026, and 2027.

No. The next U.S. Senate elections will be held on November 3, 2026. You know, next year.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Yes, but only about a third of the senate is up for re-election each time. schumer's term doesn't end until 2028.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But Senators serve 6 years, and Chuck was elected to his 6 year term in 2022.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Ah you're right, NY isn't even on the elections list.
