POS Schumer
Federal Election Commission filings show the five-term senator’s receipts slowed to a relative trickle for the last three months — raising questions about the 74-year-old’s future in a party in the throes of a far left youth movement.
The Brooklyn Democrat brought in just $133,000 during the three months ending Sept. 30 – while facing a
potential primary challenge from “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx and Queens), 36, who
raised $4.5 million during the last quarter for her House reelection campaign. [...]
Schumer’s haul was less than half of the $337,000 he brought in during the equivalent period of his 2022 election — his October 2019 report. Senators serve six-year terms and typically ramp up fundraising as their race nears.
He actually spent more on his political operation than he raised from July through September, shelling out $322,000, his latest campaign filing reveals.
