New York Democrat Party Chairman Warns Ocasio-Cortez Not to Challenge Chuck Schumer

Breitbart: The chairman of the New York Democrat Party has warned Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) not to challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in the 2022 Democrat primary.

Jay Jacobs, who served as the Democrat Party’s chairman for the Empire State from 2009 to 2012 and returned to the post in 2019, told the New York Post he believes a primary run against Schumer from Ocasio-Cortez would be driven by “ambition rather than need.”

“I think it would be a primary driven by ambition more than by need,” Jacobs said. “Chuck Schumer has been a progressive force in the state for decades. She has a constituency that admires her and supports her, and they’re in her community, and I think it would be a loss for them if she were to do that.”

Jacobs conitnued his remarks with the Post by saying that Ocasio-Cortez would “absolutley” be defeated by Schumer.

“We’ve never met. I would look forward to doing that,” Jacobs said of Ocasio-Cortez. “I am open to that at any time.” read more

  1. I think she would probably have a good chance of winning if she did.

    And I doubt she’ll be considering Jacobs warning when and if she makes a decision about it one way or the other.

  2. “…The chairman of the New York Democrat Party has warned Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) not to challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer…”

    Chuck hasn’t arraigned the government kickbacks in sufficient monetary value to pay back his and the party donors just yet. He’s under contract, so to speak.
