U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer made history yesterday, when he became the first Senate majority leader from the state of New York as well as the first Jewish person to hold the position.
Unfortunately for Schumer, the same day it was announced he would become majority leader, a mob of Trump supporters decided to rush the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to prevent President Joe Biden’s election results from being certified.
While his big moment may have been rudely interrupted by insurrectionists hoping to dismantle the U.S. government, Schumer now holds one of the most important and powerful roles in the Senate. As majority leader, Schumer will have the power to speak on behalf of Senate Democrats as well as schedule debate on legislation.
