Schumer reelected as Senate Democratic Leader
By Jordain Carney - 11/14/18 10:26 AM EST

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday was named Senate Democratic leader as both parties met to decide their leadership teams for the next Congress.

Schumer was reelected as minority leader by acclamation in the closed-door meeting, according to a source.

Schumer, in a statement, said he was “excited and humbled” to remain in the top Democratic spot.

“We have a unique opportunity in the new Congress to reach more bipartisan agreements to get things done for families across the country, and we will be ready to work with the president and our Republican colleagues on issues where we agree,” he said.

“However, we will not shy away from standing up to President Trump and Congressional Republicans with everything we’ve got when the values we as Americans hold dear are threatened,” he added.

The biggest phony and camera hog in the senate, Chuck Schumer. He’s the very definition of a swamp creature.

Depending on how the recount goes really; Schumer and McConnell may be swapping majority/minority leader status, but you are correct, same old same old.

Eventually, Chuck the Schmuck is going to be told to vacate his seat so that Chelsea can have it.

And... that's just what he'll do.
