Video: Abdul El-Sayed weighs in on Schumer's Senate Leadership

Q: SHOULD [SCHUMER] BE SENATE MAJORITY LEADER?

A: WELL, WE NEED ACTION. WE NEED LEADERSHIP TOWARD THAT ACTION, AND I'M INTERESTED TO SEE, WORKING WITH THE REST OF OUR CAUCUS, WHAT OPTIONS WE'VE GOT. YOU KNOW, A VOTE IS A CHOICE BETWEEN TWO OR MORE OPTIONS, AND I'M GONNA VOTE FOR THE OPTION THAT GIVES ME THE BEST CHANCE TO GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS, PUTTING MONEY IN POCKETS, AND PASSING MEDICARE FOR ALL.

@mastodonmigration Schumer will be the leader. You can count on it.

@mastodonmigration He is viewed (not without merit) as being central to this enormous Democratic win. Any attempt to push a far left leader will be blocked. The last thing needed now is a push for impeachment and other doomed efforts that will drive away voters who are interested in bread and butter issues that can actually be enacted.

@lauren @mastodonmigration Because impeachment cost us the 2020 election, I’m sure.

Impeachment is the ultimate “messaging bill.” Not impeaching sends a message loud & clear that Democrats find the Trump regime acceptable.

@Simplicator @mastodonmigration It's absolutely clear that the voters who moved to win this election for Dems would consider spending time on impeachment -- WHICH IS DOOMED TO FAILURE -- as a waste of time and a betrayal. This election was literally all about economics. The price of gas, medical care, etc. In fact, if the price of gas were lower the GOP probably would have won! It's painfully that simple. That's not to say that hearings into corruption and DOGE and other abuses shouldn't happen, just that impeachment per se is a non-starter.
