MI-SEN: A Rising Democratic Star Is Ready for New Leadership -- Without Chuck Schumer
Mallory McMorrow doesn’t claim to have all the answers for the Democratic Party. But as the 38-year-old Michigan Democrat gears up for a likely Senate run next month, she says generational change is needed — including at the leadership level.
In an interview with POLITICO Magazine, McMorrow, a state senator, said it wasn’t clear to her that Chuck Schumer could continue in his role as Senate minority leader, and that she would not vote for him as leader should she ultimately win a highly-contested primary and general election.
“I think it is” time for Schumer to step back, McMorrow said. “There’s still this idea that Democrats and Republicans are still abiding by the same rules and still believe in the same norms and systems and structure. There seems to be a lack of recognition that this is no longer the Republican Party. This is a MAGA party. And the same approach is not going to work.” (A Schumer spokesperson declined to comment.)
It’s not the first time McMorrow delivered a difficult message to someone she respected.
