Chuck Schumer should quit – but would his imaginary friends agree? | Arwa Mahdawi

The recent government shutdown highlighted significant challenges for Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, who has been criticized for his handling of the situation. As reported by HuffPost, Schumer's polling numbers among Democrats have taken a hit, indicating a disconnect with his party. The Wall Street Journal noted that the resolution of the shutdown was driven by a group of centrists who broke ranks with Democrats, further complicating Schumer's position. His reliance on imaginary friends, Joe and Eileen Bailey, for policy guidance, adds a layer of absurdity to his leadership style, raising questions about his effectiveness in navigating real political crises.
