Sanders, Slotkin Won't Back Schumer; Van Hollen Mulls Bid
At least 24 Democratic senators or senators-elect are uncommitted as Chris Van Hollen criticizes the party’s current leadership and gains support for a possible challenge.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faces an open leadership challenge following the midterm elections, as Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen emerges as a potential alternative and signals he is "actively listening" to colleagues regarding a bid for majority leader.
- Senator Bernie Sanders stated "the time is now for change," criticizing current leadership, while Van Hollen accused Schumer of siding "with the crypto industry and AIPAC" against progressive candidates in Democratic primaries.
- At least 10 major senators or senators-elect have peeled away from Schumer, including Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Gov. Peggy Flanagan. Incoming senators Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan and Troy Jackson of Maine cited Schumer's opposition to their campaigns.
- White House counsel Will Scharf warned Democratic Representative Robert Garcia that congressional investigations "must further a legitimate executive task," threatening legal action against potential overreach into executive and judicial powers.
- Senate Democrats will select their leader by secret ballot in December, with Schumer expecting to prevail despite this representing the most open challenge to his leadership in nearly a decade.
