U.S. Representative Glenn Ivey (MD-D) has publicly called for Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer to step down from leadership. During a town hall on Tuesday, Rep. Ivey stated, “I respect Chuck Schumer. I think he had a great, long-standing career.” Ivey added, “But I’m afraid that it may be time for the Senate Democrats to get a new leader.” Watch here: Looks like Rep Glenn Ivey (D-MD) agrees with #TheReformers We need new leadership in the Senate, @SenSchumer isn’t cutting the mustard. Democrats want a fighter to stand up to this horrific administration and Chuck is not that person.

Glenn Ivey called for Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer to step down from leadership on Tuesday. Ivey’s comments come as Schumer faces widespread anger from the Democratic Party’s base and congressional Democrats over his decision to vote to advance the GOP spending bill to avoid a government shutdown on Friday. Many congressional Democrats are urging Schumer to escalate resistance tactics against the Republican-controlled Senate with Ivey becoming the first Democratic lawmaker to publicly call for his ouster from Senate leadership. “I respect Chuck Schumer. I think he had a great, long-standing career,” Ivey told his constituents during a town hall meeting in his deep-blue Maryland district in close proximity to Washington, D.C. “But I’m afraid that it may be time for the Senate Democrats to get a new leader.” “I know shutting down the government is not good, I’ve tried to oppose it every time I could, but in this particular instance, it was something that we needed to do,” he added. The crowd reportedly burst into applause following Ivey’s call for Schumer to step down as Senate Democratic leader. Rep.

Glenn Ivey criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for refusing to block the Republican government funding bill last week. https://t.co/46GuN3vJZV — HuffPost Politics (@HuffPostPol) March 19, 2025 Per Politico: A normally even-keeled Democratic congressman wants Chuck Schumer to feel the heat. If the Senate minority leader doesn’t adopt a tougher line in the next big Washington negotiation, Rep. Glenn Ivey said, “maybe he needs to go.” Ivey spoke to POLITICO Wednesday morning, hours after facing a raucous town hall in his suburban Washington district, where he first suggested that Schumer should consider stepping aside. Ivey expanded on his view of the top Senate Democrat — and delivered an ultimatum amid the widespread frustration with the party leadership’s approach to opposing President Donald Trump. “If he can get himself together and come — you know, get right on this vote and we get another shot at it, okay,” Ivey said. “But if he’s going to do the same thing again when this bill comes up six months from now, we can’t afford that.” Ivey, a second-term Congress and member of the House Appropriations Committee, expressed confidence in his own caucus leader, New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who was able to persuade all but one Democrat in the House to vote against a Republican-drafted spending bill. But Ivey said the fissures that were exposed when the two Democratic leaders took separate approaches to measure were unacceptable and can’t happen again.

The wins just keep on coming! Do you remember back in 2016 when President Trump said we’d be winning so much we’d get tired of winning? “You’ll look at me and you’ll say ‘Please President Trump!  No more winning!  We can’t take any more winning!’” That always cracked me up, but we are now living in those times. In his first term, President Trump didn’t fully know how Washington worked, he didn’t fully know who he could trust and who he couldn’t, and he was in some ways hamstrung by wanting to make sure he didn’t do anything too crazy that might not allow him to get a second term. But every single one of those restraints is now GONE and President Trump is like a bull in a China shop (in a good way!) executing on every single one of his campaign promises — and then some! Here’s the latest…. After gutting the Department of Education and sending 50% of the employees home, he’s now reportedly ready to finish the job by a new Executive Order to be signed tomorrow: #BREAKING: President Donald Trump is signing an executive order Thursday directing the closure of the Department of Education – USA Today The White House has confirmed this to us directly. @FLVoiceNews pic.twitter.com/7yAIlMI296 — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) March 19, 2025 In other words….RIP DOE! Here’s more from ABC News: President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order to diminish the Department of Education at the White House on Thursday, multiple sources told ABC News. The president’s order will direct Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take all necessary steps permitted by law to dissolve the Department of Education, according to the sources. The move has been months in the making and will help the president fulfill his campaign promise of returning education power and decisions to the states. The department took the first steps to downsizing and shutting down last week when it laid off nearly half its employees, and it shrunk significantly in size through a massive reduction in force, deferred resignations and retirement buyouts, according to the department. Trump is also expected to continue the reforms — pledging to erase more staff from the agency and gut it. “I expect it will [be shut down entirely],” Trump said on “Full Measure” with Sharyl Attkisson earlier this month. “You’ll have a few people left just to make sure [the states are] teaching English — you know, you say reading, writing and arithmetic.” However, congressional approval is required to abolish a federal agency, and McMahon has acknowledged she would need Congress to carry out the president’s vision to close the department she’s been tapped to lead. It would take 60 “yes” votes in the Senate to overcome the filibuster and dismantle the agency that Congress created. JUST IN: President Trump to sign executive order to end Department of Education tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/V5Aeeg9mv6 — Remarks (@remarks) March 19, 2025 Fox News adds that while actually shutting it down will require Congressional approval, completely gutting it may be the short-term solution: President Donald Trump is moving forward with plans to abolish the Department of Education. Trump is expected to sign an executive order following through on a campaign promise to disband the department, claiming on the campaign trail that the department was full of “radicals, zealots and Marxists.” A White House fact sheet states that the move will “turn over education to families instead of bureaucracies.” The directive comes after the Senate voted to confirm Linda McMahon, former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), to lead the agency March 3. McMahon issued a memo later that day outlining her support for the Trump administration’s plans for the department and that she would oversee a “new era of accountability” in the agency’s final days. “The reality of our education system is stark, and the American people have elected President Trump to make significant changes in Washington,” McMahon said in the March 3 memo. “Our job is to respect the will of the American people and the President they elected, who has tasked us with accomplishing the elimination of bureaucratic bloat here at the Department of Education — a momentous final mission — quickly and responsibly.” Following reports that Trump planned to sign the executive order, the American Federation of Teachers issued a statement imploring Congress to oppose the executive order and will not “abdicate its responsibility to all children, students and working families, who deserve a future full of promise and possibility, not diminished dreams.” The teacher’s union pointed to an NPR/PBS News/Marist Poll conducted in February that found more than 60% of Americans “strongly oppose” eradicating the agency. “The Department of Education, and the laws it is supposed to execute, has one major purpose: to level the playing field and fill opportunity gaps to help every child in America succeed,” the American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten said in a statement March 5. “Trying to abolish it — which, by the way, only Congress can do — sends a message that the president doesn’t care about opportunity for all kids. Maybe he cares about it for his own kids or his friends’ kids or his donors’ kids — but not all kids.” Despite Trump’s order, the president needs Congress to sign off on eradicating the agency, under Article II of the U.S. Constitution. Such a measure would require 60 votes to pass in the Senate, and there are only 53 Republicans currently. Still, there is some appetite in Congress to eliminate the department. For example, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introduced a measure Jan. 31 to nix the Department of Education by December 2026. “Unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. should not be in charge of our children’s intellectual and moral development,” Massie said in a Jan. 31 statement. “States and local communities are best positioned to shape curricula that meet the needs of their students. Schools should be accountable.”
