NY has US Sen Chuck Schumer (D), his term ends in January 2028, and US Sen Kristen Gillibrand (D), her term ends in January 2031. But "No contender" is a phrase I'm familar with. It wouldn't suprise me if the GOP says "We couldn't find a candidate willing to run against Chuck Schumer."

I read that she's stepping away from politics to spend more time with her kids.

That's a good point but what about when some of them have been bought by George? We can't stick with them at that point.

It's interesting that he said that, but I honestly don't know what he's talking about. Democrat always "come together." They all know how to vote on everything, so how much more together can they come? Unless he's speaking in code to the RINOs and "Normals" is code for "RINOs."
