Schumer(D-NY) better watch out! He might face a tough primary re-election challenge in 2022.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-D is going to be a member of the United States House of Representatives this year by unseating a 20 year incumbent US House Member - Joe Crowley- the 4th ranking member of the US House Democratic Leadership in the Democratic Primary.
Chuck Schumer has been in the US Senate for 20 plus years and in the US House for 18 years. He is also the US Senate Democratic Leader. If Ocasio-Cortez-D could unseat a 20 year incumbent US House Member in the primary, She could unseat a 24 year incumbent United States Senator in the primary.

I expect he will "gird his loins" and prepare for the fight of our political lives against the Dick-tator's SCOTUS nominee.

Dems will need to come up with another tactic to make their opposition known, and I am sure they will.
