Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat who just emerged from the \u2018Schumer Shutdown\u2019 politically wounded, is watching his party self-destruct before his eyes, and it could even lead to his own undoing, according to political observers who are watching things play out in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n
That opinion is shared by conservative radio host and professor Hugh Hewitt, who predicted that Schumer would not win a primary contest against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) if she chooses to run against him as their Democratic Party shifts further and further to the hard left.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore I let you go, I know you\u2019re not a gambling man, but does Chuck Schumer survive this? I mean, it seems designed to insulate him from AOC, and if that was his goal, I don\u2019t think it worked,\u201d Fox News host and former GOP congressman Trey Gowdy asked Hewitt during a segment on his Sunday show.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do think he survives it for a very selfish reason by the other Democrats. Nobody wants that job. Someone\u2019s going to have to open the government again. He\u2019s already got \u2014 he\u2019s a pin cushion of arrows, so there\u2019s nothing he can really lose,\u201d Hewitt began before dropping his prediction.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not going to win if AOC runs against him in 2028. I would not be surprised if he is announcing his retirement early in 2027 to clear the way. He\u2019s been in government for 50-plus years. Sometimes it\u2019s time to go home and there\u2019s no reason not to use that if a guy has been beat up this badly, and boy, has he been beaten up pretty badly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
WATCH:<\/p>\n
A New York Post editorial board piece published a week ago noted that rank-and-file Democrats are largely dispirited and frustrated after a lengthy shutdown failed to win concessions from majority Republicans on issues important to their party.<\/p>\n
\u201cDemocrats pointlessly kept the government shut down for 41 days (and still counting!), purely to satisfy their squalling left flank\u2019s need to do something to \u2018resist\u2019 President Donald Trump,\u201d\u00a0the editorial began.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter they shut it down, they opted to claim the point was to force the GOP to extend expiring Covid-era Affordable Care Act subsidies \u2014 though the Dems themselves had set the expiration date back in 2021,\u201d it continued. \u201cYet the true reason was simply that Democratic grassroots activists and donors are furious that they can\u2019t get their way in Washington, and insisted that their congresscritters express their rage.<\/p>\n

Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced,\u201d postured Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.).<\/p>\n There have been rumors for months that AOC has been eyeing a primary challenge to Schumer, which is why he bent to her wing of the party to keep the government shuttered.<\/p>\n A new report from CNN says that, if she does challenge Schumer, AOC would likely win.<\/p>\n CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten reported Tuesday that Schumer\u2019s approval rating has fallen to its lowest level for any Democratic Senate leader since at least 1985.<\/p>\n Heartfelt Hospital Reunion: Prince William Rushed to Prince Harry\u2019s Side<\/p>\n Royal watchers were left stunned as flashing cameras swarmed St. Mary\u2019s Hospital late last night. Reports claim that Prince Harry was rushed in under urgent circumstances, prompting Prince William to abandon all royal engagements and speed to his brother\u2019s side. What unfolded behind those closed doors was said to be so heartbreaking that palace insiders are now questioning what this moment means for the future of the monarchy.<\/p>\n Inside the hospital, the cold scent of disinfectant mingled with the heavy weight of worry. Photographers pressed against glass, desperate for answers they wouldn\u2019t get. Behind those walls, Prince Harry sat motionless, shoulders slumped, hands covering tear-streaked cheeks. The doctor\u2019s words lingered in his mind, sharp and unyielding.<\/p>\n When William arrived, the echo of his hurried footsteps through the corridor was a haunting reminder of their shared past. He flung open the door and froze at the sight of his brother\u2019s despair before crossing the room to embrace him.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat did they say?\u201d William asked quietly, voice trembling.<\/p>\n Harry lifted his head, eyes red-rimmed, voice breaking. \u201cThey asked if I\u2019d soon be with Mum.\u201d The words hung heavy in the air, each syllable a painful echo of memories long buried.<\/p>\n William clenched his jaw, holding back his own fear, gripping Harry\u2019s hand firmly. \u201cYou\u2019re not leaving me,\u201d he said, voice both fierce and fragile. \u201cNot yet. We\u2019ll get through this together.\u201d<\/p>\n Outside, speculation ran rampant, but inside that quiet room, the brothers sat side by side, holding onto each other as though sheer will could stave off tragedy a second time.<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n That night at St. Mary\u2019s was more than a medical emergency \u2014 it was a testament to the unbreakable bond between Prince William and Prince Harry.<\/p>\n Titles, crowns, and controversies faded into the background. In the face of fear and uncertainty, family remained their strongest shield, and together, they faced whatever the future held.<\/p>\n Although Prince Harry is back in the UK, he isn’t expected to meet with his brother Prince William.<\/p>\n Prince Harry, 40, is back in the UK this week, however one person he isn’t expected to meet during his visit is his estranged brother\u00a0Prince William, 43.<\/p>\n Whilst the 40-year-old may meet up with his father\u00a0King Charles III, royal expects have revealed the ‘firm’ reason why the future King won’t meet with his sibling.<\/p>\n Speaking to the\u00a0Mirror, an insider stated: “William feels Harry has repeatedly chosen public exposure over private resolution and that the Royal Family can\u2019t keep being dragged into the headlines every time there\u2019s a new contract to promote.”<\/p>\n They added: “The issue with Harry, as well as Meghan, is one of trust. Ever since moving to North America, they have eroded all confidence in their ability to keep things or their criticisms private. For there to be any chance of moving forward, that trust has to be rebuilt, and Team Sussex knows the onus is on them.”<\/p>\n The relationship between the brothers is reportedly strained, with the two cutting off contact after Prince Harry and his wife\u00a0Meghan Markle\u00a0gave up their royal duties and moved to California in 2020.<\/p>\n Tensions were further raised when the couple took part in an\u00a0interview\u00a0with Oprah in 2021, with their\u00a0documentary series\u00a0on\u00a0Netflix\u00a0and release of Prince Harry’s memoir\u00a0Spare\u00a0in 2023 continuing to cause friction within the Royal Family.<\/p>\n However another insider told the publication that Prince Harry may meet with King Charles III, saying: “It\u2019s clear there is now a determination on both sides to make this happen. Nobody is pretending the wider family issues have been resolved, but this is about beginning with Charles and Harry. For the first time in a long time, there\u2019s a genuine sense that reconciliation is within reach.<\/p>\n “After 20 months apart, and with the King continuing his treatment, the feeling is that the time is right to take that step. This is not about grand gestures or set-piece meetings – it\u2019s about a simple face-to-face conversation between a father and his son. The priority is privacy and dignity, but also ensuring the door stays open for further dialogue.”<\/p>\n Royal corespondent Jennie Bond also told the publication whether she believes the siblings will meet, saying: “Harry may well see some of his cousins \u2013 such as Eugenie or Beatrice \u2013 but I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any likelihood of a meeting with William or Catherine.<\/p>\n “The rift between the brothers remains too deep and William has far too much going on in his life to worry about the Harry problem.<\/p>\n “I would never say never in a family dispute. As the years roll by, it may be that William will find a way to reconcile with Harry. But that day \u2013 if it ever comes, and it may not \u2013 is not any time soon.”<\/p>\n Prince Harry has previously spoken about mending bridges between the family members, telling the BBC: “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.”<\/p>\n He also stated: “I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point. There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat who just emerged from the \u2018Schumer Shutdown\u2019 politically wounded, is watching his party self-destruct before his eyes, and it could even lead to…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18448,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Prince William has apparently declined to meet with Prince Harry.\u00a0Picture: Getty<\/span><\/p>\n
