Schumer book events called off over ‘security concerns’ week of release

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s book, ‘Antisemitism in America: A Warning,’ is slated for release on Tuesday, but promotional events for the long-serving lawmaker’s book that were scheduled for this week are being called off.

‘Due to security concerns, Senator Schumer’s book events are being rescheduled,’ a statement to Fox from a book tour spokesperson noted.

The senator had been scheduled for multiple events this week.

Schumer irked some Democrats last week by voting to overcome a procedural hurdle and advance a Trump-backed government funding measure to a vote as the nation faced the prospect of a partial government shutdown.

He and a number of other Senate Democratic caucus members voted to invoke cloture, but then voted against passing the measure.

Two members of the Senate Democratic caucus – Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. – voted to both invoke cloture and to pass the measure.

Shaheen announced last week that she will not seek re-election in 2026.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the only Senate Republican who voted against passing the funding measure last week.

Ahead of the vote, Schumer said that while the ‘bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse.’
