Chuck Schumer starts to leave, but the questions keep coming. Asked about working with Donald Trump, he turns back with a blunt answer: "We are going to work hard to drive cost down, with the president or without him. Period."
That exchange captures the balance of his post-election press conference: promises of household relief alongside a warning that Democratic control of Congress will mean greater scrutiny of the administration.
DRM News' upload drew roughly 39,000 views in its first 11 hours, an unusually fast start for a regular video on the channel. The full briefing goes beyond the victory declaration to the tools Schumer says Democrats intend to use.
He puts living costs and government corruption near the top of the agenda. On Iran, his demand is unequivocal: "This war must end. It must end." Asked how Democrats could act, he points to Congress's power over spending. Questions about judicial nominees bring a pledge to scrutinize their fidelity to the rule of law.
There is also a lighter exchange when reporters follow his attempted departure and he returns to the lectern. "See the power of the majority leader. As minority leader, you would have let me walk right out the door," he jokes.
The leadership title is not yet settled by a caucus vote, but Schumer expresses no uncertainty about his own future: "The issue is not me. I'll be re-elected as majority leader."
A Democratic U.S. senator from New York since 1999 who has led Senate Democrats since 2017. He previously served as Senate majority leader from 2021 to 2025.
