Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has been quietly shoring up his support among progressives, according to a new report from Politico, ahead of a possible primary challenge from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) who is likely to be redistricted out of her seat in Congress.
New York state has lost a significant enough portion of its population to force its legislature to redraw its congressional districts, leaving one of the state’s Representatives out of a job. Ocasio-Cortez, who has not ingratiated herself to New York’s Democrats, preferring to build a more national profile than assist the state party in fundraising, is the most likely Representative to be booted from office — and she, reportedly, has Schumer’s Senate seat in her sights.
