WASHINGTON — A scheduled book tour stop for Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) in Washington, D.C., has been postponed due to security concerns, according to an update posted on Eventbrite.
Schumer was slated to promote his new book, "Antisemitism in America: A Warning," Monday night at Politics & Prose at Sixth & I, located at 600 I St NW. However, organizers announced the event’s postponement due to potential protests that were expected to take place at the venue.
The protests were tied to anger over Schumer’s recent stance on the continuing resolution bill, which has drawn criticism from some groups. Security concerns were cited as the reason for postponing the event, though additional details about the nature of the concerns were not immediately provided.
Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader, has been touring to discuss his book, which addresses the growing issue of antisemitism in the United States. The D.C. stop was part of a broader promotional tour.
It is unclear when or if the event will be rescheduled. Organizers have not yet provided an alternative date, and no additional security measures were detailed in the postponement notice.
The event listing on Eventbrite still remains live, with a status of “postponed.”
