I live in NY. Schumer will never leave on his own, and the progressives don't have the muscle to push him out, especially after Nov. 5. NY progressives are now largely viewed as dupes or worse, especially outside of NYC. NY is slowly turning red. Congressman Ritchie Torres has had his name thrown around as someone who could replace Schumer eventually, but even though he is a progressive, the other progressives hate him because he is pro-Israel.
It was late and I wasn't specific. I meant to say as Minority Leader. The idea of NY turning even a lighter blue is crazy. The in-fighting has to stop. It doesn't help anything. Here I am thinking we need a new leader in the senate. That would stir things up. Ooof.
Schumer is totally plugged in to Wall Street/big bank $, and those guys want Schumer to stay in place as a hedge against anything Trump does that they don't like (e.g., large tariffs that negatively impact equities). No doubt they are already gearing up to derail RFK Jr. behind the scenes, as he threatens large food cos. and pharma cos. (to be clear IMHO Jr. is an egomaniac and an anti-science nut job who should be torpedoed). Schumer will fight when his big $ backers deem it in their interest to do so.

Oh that's good to know. Yeah, I was thinking big pharma is going to have a problem with Jr. He is an idiot, so let's hope he is ineffective too.
