Senate Democrats confront Schumer as Van Hollen eyes leadership
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer faced a possible leadership challenge after Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen said he was open to running for the position, a Newsweek report said. The development follows earlier signs of dissent within the caucus. Kansas Senate candidate Adam Hamilton announced he would not back Schumer, USA Today reported.
Commentators had earlier urged Schumer to outline a succession plan after the Democrats secured a Senate majority, Yahoo noted. CNN reported that Senate Democrats expressed mixed views on Schumer’s future. The Guardian reported that several newly elected Democratic senators said they would not support Schumer for majority leader.
