Are the Dems trying to tank the 2026 cycle?

On top of that, their prospects for regaining a majority in the U.S. Senate is in peril with incumbents not seeking reelection in swing states like Michigan and New Hampshire. Also, reliably red state Georgia is definitely ripe for a GOP flip with Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff facing a tough reelection battle. 

I guess this would explain why Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer chose to appear with the shrill hags on The View and proceed to mock regular Americans (many of whom are still struggling with an increased cost of living) for wanting to be more financially secure.

Again, the only rationale for doing this is Schumer believes a Senate majority is out of reach for Dems in addition to members of his own party turning on him for his CR stunt. Might as well burn it all down. 

It's impossible to overstate how much Donald Trump has broken these people.
