You're wrong and don't watch the news enough. Or you'd know that Jeffries and Schumer are on MSNBC

at least once or twice weekly. Not only that, but they've put themselves and other Democrats' congressional speeches before CSPAN cameras and into the Congressional Record.

Schumer has made numerous appearances, particularly in relation to:

-- Debates and discussions on government funding, including a notable instance in March 2025 where he initially opposed then supported a Republican spending bill to avoid a government shutdown.
This decision generated significant news coverage and backlash from within his own party.
He appeared on programs such as Meet the Press to defend his position.
-- Floor remarks and press conferences on various topics such as Trump's policies, Project 2025, trade tariffs, Social Security, and aid to Israel.
-- Interviews on his book "Antisemitism in America: A Warning," including appearances on CBS Mornings and -- The New York Times' "The Interview".
-- Media appearances and press conferences on issues like Trump's nominees and the Epstein Files.
-- A postponed book tour due to security concerns after his funding bill decision, which also generated news coverage.


Hakeem Jeffries has done the same in the House. Just a couple of hours ago he slammed the felon for seizing control of DC Police. Yeah, The Hill reported it. Now try googling.
