Schumer finds unity moment in Supreme Court fight
| Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is looking to go on offense in the looming Supreme Court fight and shift gears after two high-profile setbacks.
Justice Stephen Breyer’s announcement that he’ll retire this summer, presuming his successor is ready to go, sets up a high-stakes battle for Schumer, who will be the first majority leader to need to get a Supreme Court nominee confirmed in a 50-50 Senate. But it also puts him in line for a big win, if he can keep his 50-member caucus united after months of high-profile tensions. |
