These calls for Schumer to be replaced are, sorry, naive and wrong headed.
First of all, it ignores all of the accomplishments of Schumer over time.
Second, can anyone name one Senator who wants Schumer to quit? Or one Senator who has stepped up to say they want the job?
Nope.
Talk is cheap.

Hey Jon, the "Democrats" did not "cave".
Eight Democrats shifted their position, and all of the GOP agreed to the compromise they proposed. all of the other Democrats (39 of them) did not "cave", including Leader Schumer.
You are welcome for the correction.

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"
