In New York politics, tension rises as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer concedes to Republicans on a funding bill, igniting calls for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to challenge him in a primary. Schumer's decision to avoid a government shutdown by accepting Republican terms has angered many Democrats. Ocasio-Cortez, critical of the move, argues it empowers figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, much to the dismay of Democratic constituents. This unrest leads to whispers of a potential Senate run by AOC, reflecting dissatisfaction with the current party leadership.
