Chuck Schumer: After Oct. 7, US Jews thought, ‘Maybe it could happen here’

On Sunday, The New York Times published a sprawling, multipart interview with Chuck Schumer that covers everything from his take on the Democrats’ future to his anxieties about antisemitism and how Oct. 7 changed the landscape for American Jews.

The interview was published two days before the New York senator’s book, “Antisemitism in America: A Warning,” hits the shelves. It also came out just days after he, as Senate minority leader, helped push through a Republican-led funding resolution that averted a government shutdown — and ignited criticism from his colleagues.
