43. Did he throw his name in the hat?

I'm guessing not because he knows what I said is true.

Instead, he's railing against leadership because he wants to run for president and know it's an easy go-to to get support -- case in point, you wanting him in leadership.

Zero chance he would volunteer to be leader as long as the 2028 presidential primaries are coming up. You can pretty much guarantee that any new leadership would be someone with no hopes of higher office and would be "milquetoast" like Schumer -- and would be turned on almost immediately.
