Hello, everyone. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, recently made a rather fascinating remark. He stated that former President Donald Trump’s decision to select Senator JD Vance, a Republican from Ohio, as his Vice President was one of “the best things he ever did for Democrats.” Quite a statement!
Schumer also implied that Trump might choose to remove Vance from the Republican ticket, suggesting that Schumer might be hoping for such an outcome.
Switching gears, Schumer was asked about Vice President Harris, who is currently the presumptive nominee, and whether he’s encouraging Senate Democrats to invite her to campaign with them. His response was a resounding ‘Yes.’ According to Schumer, the achievements of the Biden-Harris administration have been “incredible.”
Schumer gave high praises to the duo for their many accomplishments. He highlighted senators talking about their achievements like inaugurating new bridges, bringing broadband services to rural areas, and initiating new factories. According to Schumer, this strong record is assisting Senate candidates in their campaigns.

However, things are not as they seem in the White House, but is that really any surprise?
Insane story from Seymour Hersh…
Biden was threatened with the 25th Amendment by top level Democrats.

Schumer then provided a contrasting view of the GOP’s record, specifically the Trump-Vance partnership. He described it as “extreme,” suggesting that the so-called ‘Project 2025’ might threaten the rights of women and workers, benefitting only the super-rich. Schumer even posited that it could pose a threat to our democracy.
Schumer wasn’t finished with his observations regarding JD Vance’s place on the ticket. He suggested that Vance’s behavior seems more unpredictable and extreme than Trump’s. Schumer humorously imagined Trump wondering why he chose Vance in the first place, even suggesting that Trump’s choice might be one of the best things he’s done for Democrats.
Chuck Schumer went on record about @JDVance saying, “[Trump] … why did I pick this guy?” They are terrified of this ticket, and should be. Hey @SenSchumer JD isn’t going anywhere, he has our full support. We will all be voting for Trump – Vance 2024 @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/ogr3RgpF3A
