Rep. Ro Khanna said Democrats need a new generation of leaders and criticized Chuck Schumer’s leadership, while pointing to several senators he sees as alternatives.
In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on November 16, Khanna said Schumer had been “terrific” during Joe Biden’s presidency but argued that Democrats need different leadership. Khanna said grassroots Democrats do not see Schumer as the person to lead the party forward.
Khanna criticized Schumer over his record on the Iraq war, Gaza and health care. He also praised Chris Murphy, Cory Booker and Brian Schatz as potential leaders and said he appreciates Elizabeth Warren’s ideology.

6 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Ro Khanna criticized Chuck Schumer’s handling of the government shutdown, called it a final straw, and urged new Democratic Senate leadership, with possible successors named. Center outlets present Khanna’s call as a case for new leadership and generally attribute criticism of Schumer to him. Right-leaning outlets also cover the leadership challenge and possible replacements, but frame it more as a party dispute, with coverage ranging from defenses of Schumer to ridicule of Khanna’s suggestions.
