As expected, Schumer gives up DSCC
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Charles Schumer says he is giving up his job running the Senate Democrats’ national campaign efforts after two successful elections.
Schumer has been chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee since the 2006 cycle, when he helped engineer a 6-seat gain that gave his party a slim 1-vote majority margin.
This year, the party won seven more seats, with two additional races in Minnesota and Georgia still undecided.
Schumer’s decision was expected. He says he’s had “a great run,” but it’s time to devote more of his time and energy to legislation in what he hopes will be a historic Congress.
The two-term senator is up for re-election in two years
