Chuck Schumer knows the writing is on the wall for his time as Senate Majority Leader.
Schumer, who has led Democrats in the Senate for the past four years, suggested in a statement that the new Senate should embrace “bipartisan legislation” rather than Trump’s agenda.
“As we await the final tallies in elections across the country, Senate Democrats remain committed to our values and to working with our Republican colleagues to deliver for the American people,” his statement read.
“As I’ve said time and again, in both the majority and the minority, the only way to get things done in the Senate is through bipartisan legislation while maintaining our principles — and the next two years will be no different,” he continued.

The 73-year-old New York Democrat, who worked to put President Trump in prison, also praised Kamala Harris for running an inspiring campaign, despite the fact she lost in a landslide.
“Vice President Kamala Harris’s historic candidacy inspired millions, and her vision for a better future for all Americans will endure,” he declared.
“Her advocacy on many issues — from lower costs, more affordable housing, and a fairer tax system — will continue to have strong impacts on America and on our party.”
