Sen. Chuck Schumer is facing the distinct possibility of a primary challenge after he handed Republicans the votes to keep the government open last week .

Progressives are encouraging Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to run for his seat when he faces reelection in 2028 .

Schumer maintains that his funding vote was the better of two bad choices.

Schumer remains broadly popular in New York , enjoying a 68% approval rating among Democrats in a Siena College poll released in February .

The Marist Poll , meanwhile, has found remarkably static support for Schumer dating back to 2000 .

Younger voters in the downstate enclaves where progressives enjoy their base of support have responded with resigned disapproval to Schumer ’s handling of the shutdown fight.
