Chuck Schumer

Schumer interests me less as an ideologue than as a machine of persistence. From James Madison High School to Harvard to a Senate seat held since 1999, his career is a study in relentless retail politics; the famous habit of touring every New York county each year tells you everything about his method. As Democratic leader through majority and minority alike, he has absorbed criticism from every direction, which I read as evidence that he occupies the genuinely difficult center of his party. I do not always find him inspiring, but I find him durable, and in an era of performative politics, a workhorse who still answers to Brooklyn earns my respect.
