Time to pass
the baton.

Chuck Schumer has been in Congress since 1981. Voters just sent a new class of senators to Washington. The people leading Senate Democrats should look like the voters who sent them.

The job

The same chair,
four decades running.

Chuck Schumer first took office in January 1981, the same month Ronald Reagan was sworn in as president. He went from the House to the Senate in 1999 and became the Senate Democrats' leader in 2017. He has been at the top of the party in the Senate for most of the last decade, through wins and losses, and he is still there.

Nobody is saying he did not work hard. We are saying a long career is a reason to hand off, not to hang on.

Strong parties plan their succession. They bring up the next generation while the last one is still around to teach them. That is the pass of the baton, and it is overdue.

The wave

The voters just
sent new faces.

On November 3, Democrats won the Senate with at least 54 seats, and a new class of senators is headed to Washington, several of them by beating well-known incumbents. Schumer himself called it a "generational remake of the Senate map." We agree. The remake should include the leadership.

Results are the projections of NBC News and CBS News as of November 5, 2026. Alaska and Mississippi were still too close to call. Josh Turek, who flipped Iowa, also won; no free-licence photo of him was available.
