Karl cited a Gallup Poll that found 30% of Americans had confidence in him and 26% had faith in Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Meanwhile, when it came to their economic policies, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had 36% of Americans&rsquo; confidence, and John Thune had 33%.<\/p>\n<p>While Ocasio-Cortez hasn&rsquo;t confirmed her intentions with relation to the Fight Oligarchy tour, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/New-York\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">New York<\/a> representative is floated as the successor to Schumer in 2028.
