Congressman Burchett Supports Ocasio-Cortez Challenging Schumer in 2028 Primary

Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) expressed his support for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to challenge and defeat Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in the upcoming Democratic primary. Burchett criticized Schumer and Senate Democrats for delaying confirmations of President Trump's nominees through frequent procedural votes, which he believes hampers legislative progress and frustrates the American public. During a Sunday appearance on Fox News, Burchett emphasized that voters elected to advance Donald Trump's agenda and that delays in confirming nominees undermine this effort. He also voiced his hope that Ocasio-Cortez would run against Schumer in 2028, suggesting that Schumer's leadership is ineffective and that voters are tired of political obstructionism.
