Chuck Schumer\u2019s (D-NY) Senate dysfunction amid legislative failures.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, he Senate has yet to pass in the routine National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), appropriations to fund the government, a fresh debt ceiling limit, and President Biden\u2019s massive 1.9 trillion reconciliation package.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Schumer promised all these provisions would be completed by Christmas, though it is looking less likely the deliberative body will deliver on months-overdue&nbsp;legislation.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/12\/02\/senate-deteriorates-december-523674\">pointed<\/a>&nbsp;out Schumer\u2019s mismanagement to&nbsp;<em>Politico:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9\">\n<p>Here we are in December, we don\u2019t have a national defense authorization act completed. We don\u2019t have an appropriations process completed. We\u2019ve got a debt ceiling limit we\u2019re going to run up against once again. And there\u2019s only four or five items for the whole year you\u2019re expected to get done.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just tired of it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Democrat Senators are echoing Rounds\u2019 points of frustration. But it seems the best Schumer can do is promise votes that never seem to result in enacted legislation. Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) told <em>Politico:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p>Our national politics have become less and less tolerant, less and less respectful, less and less constructive, and we\u2019re a representative body. Clearly there\u2019s a rising number of House and Senate members whose home states are saying, \u2018go to Washington and stop those fill-in-the-blank.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A key point of contention for Democrats is that Schumer has promised the left since the spring he will pass Biden\u2019s reconciliation package. But Schumer has not yet delivered, with deadlines only becoming tighter. As political campaigns begin to swing into action, it will become more difficult to pass Biden\u2019s radical agenda with moderate members seeking to win reelection.<\/p>\n<p>Far-left Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) told the establishment media outlet he is confident McConnell could fix the Democrat-controlled Senate logjam, noting McConnell does not have an incentive to fix the opposition party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMitch McConnell has done \u2026 what, to fix this?\u201d&nbsp;Brown questioned McConnell\u2019s lack of concern for the Democrats. \u201cMcConnell can fix this in 15 seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) complained that Schumer is too weak to convince all 50 Democrat senators to support Biden\u2019s agenda. Just on Thursday, for instance, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) would not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/02\/joe-manchin-leaves-option-open-defund-joe-biden-vaccine-mandate\/\">indicate<\/a> if he would support Schumer\u2019s measure to fund the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know the vulnerability of the Senate. It only takes one \u2026 Schumer\u2019s earning his paycheck this week,\u201d Durbin said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Wendell Huseb\u00f8 on Twitter&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WendellHusebo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\"><em>@WendellHuseb\u00f8<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrat Senators on Thursday have complained about Majority Leader Sen.
