Nick Reisman reports for New York State of Politics that Republican Joe Pinion hopes to unseat Democrat Chuck Schumer, who has been a New York Senator since 1998, in the November election. "I think when you look at the pain many New Yorkers have been enduring for the last 24 years, when you look at the pain many Americans have been feeling over the last two years in the grasp of COVID, it felt it was it time to build an uncommon coalition to achieve an uncommon outcome to build an America that works for we the people again," Pinion, a former personality on the right-wing "Newsmax" network said. Schumer is also the Senate Majority Leader, and only one senator holding that post has ever lost an election. "On paper, if you're looking at the history, then this is a fool's errand," Pinion said. "But the hard truth is when you're looking at the reality of New Yorkers we are a state of 19 million and shrinking, because we are a working-class state filled with working-class people and not nearly enough working-class opportunities to be found. If you're unhappy with the world as it is today, you cannot vote for the architects who built it." Ballotpedia reports that Republican Alex Mici is also running for Schumer's Senate seat, so at least those two will face off in New York's June 28 primary election.
