Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) failed to drum up enthusiasm for Kamala Harris among reporters while endorsing her bid for the Democrat presidential nomination during a press conference on Capitol Hill, Tuesday.

Schumer, 73, said Joe Biden’s “selfless decision” not to run “has given the Democratic Party the opportunity to unite behind a new nominee,” and since his announcement, the party has “swiftly coalesced” around Harris, "and boy oh boy are we enthusiastic."

Schumer then ludicrously told reporters that the machinations of the Democrat party’s power brokers to oust Biden once he was deemed unelectable was a “grassroots, bottom up” process.

“Now that the process has played out, from the grassroots, bottom up, we are here today throw our support behind Vice President Kamala Harris!” Schumer declared with gusto, while clapping his hands.

Schumer went on:

In reaction to the dead silence that ensued, Schumer told reporters:

Laughing, he added, “it’s a happy day, what can I say?”

The New York Democrat continued, saying:

He paused and waited for applause, but there wasn’t any.

“Applause?” he asked weakly, pointing to members of the press.

Schumer then handed the mike over to Jeffries, who said that Harris is “ready, willing and able to lead us into the future.”

When Schumer was asked during the Q&A whether he had “personally asked” Biden to step down during his visit to Biden’s beach house in Delaware on July 13, the senator didn’t deny it.
