Chuck Schumer (Democratic Party) is a member of the U.S. Senate from New York. He assumed office on January 3, 1999. His current term ends on January 3, 2029.

Senate Democrats unanimously elected Schumer as Senate minority leader in November 2016.[1] On January 20, 2021, he became Senate majority leader after Vice President Kamala Harris (D) was sworn into office, assuming her role as president — and tie-breaker — of the 50-50 Senate.[2] Schumer was unanimously re-elected as majority leader for the 118th Congress in December 2022, and was elected minority leader for the 119th Congress in December 2024.[3]

Schumer was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1950. He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in social studies in 1971 and received a J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1974.[4] As an undergraduate, he was president of the Harvard Young Democrats.[5] Schumer passed the New York Bar in 1975 but did not practice law.[6]

Schumer's first political office was in the New York State Assembly, where he served from 1975 to 1980.[4] In 1980, at age 29, he won election to the U.S. House of Representatives. He was re-elected eight times, representing parts of Brooklyn and Queens from 1981 to 1999.[4][7] In 1998, Schumer won election to the U.S. Senate, defeating three-term incumbent Sen. Alfonse D'Amato (R) 55% to 44%.[8][9] Before Schumer's election, 1947 was the last year Democrats held both of New York's U.S. Senate seats.[10] As of 2024, Schumer's Senate re-election margins ranged from 14 percentage points in 2022 to 47 percentage points in 2004.

Schumer chaired the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee from 2005 to 2008 and the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee from 2011 to 2017.[4] Schumer has listed the Inflation Reduction Act (2022), the CHIPS and Science Act (2022), the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2021), and the American Rescue Plan (2021) as accomplishments of his Senate tenure.[11]

In 2020, Politico's John Bresnahan and Marianne Levine wrote, "[T]he Schumer of today is a far cry from the Reagan-era liberal who won election to the House in 1980 and then embraced the mantle of a 'law-and-order Democrat' when he ran for the Senate in 1998. The self-described 'angry centrist' is no more."[12] Schumer told Politico, "A good elected official looks at the needs of the people he or she represents and does everything he or she can to help solve those needs, and the world changes. And the problems that existed, say in the ‘90s, are different than the problems that exist today."[12] Schumer said his legislative priorities included New York's economy, expanding healthcare, gun safety, college affordability, immigration reforms, climate change, and racial justice.[12][13]

Biography

Schumer was born in Brooklyn and attended Harvard College, where he became interested in politics and campaigned for Eugene McCarthy in 1968. After completing his undergraduate degree, he continued to Harvard Law School, earning his Juris Doctor with honors in 1974.[14]

Federal government shutdown (2025)

See also: Federal government shutdown, 2025

Schumer was the minority leader in the U.S. Senate during the 2025 federal government shutdown. The shutdown began at 12:01 a.m. on October 1, 2025, after the U.S. Congress was unable to vote to approve a budget bill. The shutdown ended on November 12, 2025, after President Donald Trump (R) signed the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026 into law. This was the longest government shutdown in U.S. history at the time, at 42 full days long.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 217-212 to approve an earlier version of the continuing resolution on September 19, which would have funded the government through November 21 and mostly extended funding at the same level, with some additional spending, such as additional funds for security for federal public officials. The U.S. Senate held fourteen votes on this bill from September 19 to November 4, which all failed to meet the 60-vote threshold to pass.[23]

On November 9, the Senate held a successful fifteenth vote on the continuing resolution. The next day, the Senate voted to invoke cloture on and pass an amended version of the continuing resolution that would fund the government through January 30, 2026, and would also include the reversal of federal employee firings during the shutdown and three funding bills for military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Agriculture, and the legislative branch.[24] The Senate voted 60-40 on passage, with seven Democrats and one Independent who caucuses with Democrats joining 52 Republicans voting in favor.[25] The House voted 222-209 in favor of the bill on November 12.

In exchange for Democratic support of the bill, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said he would bring up a vote on Affordable Care Act subsidies in December 2025. The Senate had previously considered a Democrat-sponsored continuing resolution, which would have mostly extended funding at previous levels through October 31, and extended Affordable Care Act subsidies, through the form of extending enhanced premium tax credits. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the premium tax credit “is a refundable credit that helps eligible individuals and families cover the premiums for their health insurance purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace.”[26] The Democrat-sponsored continuing resolution would have also repealed reductions to Medicaid funding from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and limited the authority of the Office of Management and Budget to withhold appropriations. This bill failed to meet the 60-vote threshold during the seven votes held on the bill from September 19 to October 9.[27]
