74-year-old Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer just crashed his party’s car so badly that it’s time to take his keys away. And not when he’s up for reelection in three years. Now.

After plunging the country into its longest government shutdown ever, eight Senate members from the Democratic Party caucus folded on Sunday, joining their Republican colleagues in voting to open the federal government.

The defections took place without any meaningful healthcare concessions — the whole point of the shutdown in the first place — and in a clear break with the rest of the Party, most notably helpless Chuck.

This is far from Schumer’s only car crash as leader, but this time many of his insurers in the Democratic Party seem unwilling to cover the damages. Nearly a dozen House Democrats are calling for his ouster. These are not just progressives, but moderates too, like Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, Mike Levin of California, and Glenn Ivey of Maryland.

The usual Washington smokescreen of process-oriented excuses isn’t working anymore. As Rep. Ro Khanna bluntly told Breaking Points, Schumer is Leader of the Senate Democrats and the buck stops with him.

“Come on, Schumer’s been in politics for 50 years,” Khanna said. “He controls the caucus, he determines when a deal can be cut.”
