He believes Schumer&#8217;s approval ratings have plummeted from over 60% to the 30s, and if Ocasio-Cortez runs for Senate, Schumer&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-headlines-save-america-rally-in-sarasota-fla\/\" title=\"President Trump headlines Save America rally in Sarasota, Fla.\">political standing<\/a> would be in jeopardy. Concha also highlighted a broader shift where manny U.S. cities are perhaps heading toward socialist leadership, with establishment Democrats perceived as being too afraid to oppose this surge. The trend reflects a growing divide within the Democratic Party between moderates and far-left socialists, which could redefine future political dynamics.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Washington Examiner <\/em>columnist <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/joe-concha\/\">Joe Concha<\/a> said Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/chuck-schumer\/\">Chuck Schumer<\/a> (D-NY) would not win his primary in a reelection campaign if he runs against a candidate backed by the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/4625810\/dsa-eyes-national-expansion-new-york-wins-democrats-brace-new-primary-fights\/\">Democratic Socialists of America<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concha told audiences to \u201csave this tape right now\u201d when his prediction that Schumer would be defeated by a socialist comes true.
