Capitol agenda: The left looks to Van Hollen for a shake-up
POLITICO's Inside Congress newsletter reports that progressives are pushing Chuck Schumer to step aside as Senate Democratic leader, with Sen. Chris Van Hollen — a longtime establishment figure turned critic of the party — keeping open a leadership challenge, and allies openly discouraging him. It also covers the lame-duck agenda: Sean Duffy's White House-backed push for $30 billion in air traffic control funding, a discharge petition forcing a House vote on releasing more Epstein files, Sen. Josh Hawley endorsing a national data center moratorium, Sen. Rand Paul becoming the Senate HELP Committee's ranking member, and Rep. Richard Neal's unopposed Ways and Means chair bid.
