Schumer, McConnell And What's To Come In 2024

 Schumer's toughest test will come in 2024, when he will face the daunting task of defending an array of vulnerable Senate Democrats in a presidential election year with an unpopular 81-year-old incumbent at the top of the ticket.

Schumer has been emphasizing what he sees as the steady hand of the Democratic-controlled Senate in contrast with the chaos of the GOP-run House.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell: The longest-serving party leader in Senate history had one of his most difficult years and could face an even more turbulent 2024.

At the start of this session, McConnell was fresh off the most significant challenge to his leadership role in his 16 years atop the GOP Conference.

Earlier in the year, McConnell missed six weeks after suffering a concussion and broken ribs stemming from a fall.

Trump, of course, detests McConnell for acknowledging that the former president lost in 2020.

McConnell has worked hard to ensure that Trump's worldview doesn't win out within the party, often breaking with the former president without uttering his name.

With Trump on track to secure the GOP nomination, it'll become much harder for McConnell to avoid questions about the former president and his latest incendiary or racist comment.

McConnell has embraced demands from his conference that any Ukraine aid bill be paired with GOP-approved border security and immigration policy changes.

McConnell has held the line on this, to the pleasant surprise of Senate conservatives.

McConnell won't be able to sign off on any agreement that Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to bring up in the House.
