Lauren Egan: “Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s handling of the government funding fight has caused such damage to his standing in the party that even supporters were privately discussing this week whether it represented the nadir of his lengthy political career.”
“It wasn’t because they felt Schumer had erred in shepherding a House Republican-authored bill to passage in the Senate.
It was how feeble he appeared to be in the process—a leader in title but not spirit.”
