I'm probably in the minority of my Twitter following here but I think Schumer would have a very good chance of winning this one. He's not Joe Crowley or Eliot Engel. He can fight a primary.
.@AOC should primary Chuck Schumer in 2022. Pass it on.

That might be true, but we need to start thinking about politics in terms of what we want rather than what we think we can have. Schumer is the ultimate architect of the corporate dominance of the Democratic Party and it would take a seriously charismatic progressive to beat him.

I think that's true. AOC probably won't take it on though. She's more cautious than she lets on

Replying to @RossBarkan
Yes I sense that.

NY is a big time Dem machine state despite the new faces we are seeing. Chuck will still have powerful allies to pull it off. But if Biden wins, Dems win Senate & no elimination/reform of filibuster, things will get very bad. A failure of governance will open up a primary a bit.
