The Real Reason Chris Van Hollen’s Challenge to Schumer Is a Big Deal
Greg Sargent writes at The New Republic that Senator Chris Van Hollen's challenge to Chuck Schumer for Senate majority leader matters mainly for whether Democrats will wield the power of the purse to check Trump's lawlessness, which Sargent predicts Van Hollen is unlikely to win but expects to force a serious caucus debate. Van Hollen told MS NOW's Jen Psaki Democrats should use their "full power," including defunding the Iran war even at the risk of a shutdown, while Sargent faults his resistance to impeaching Trump and Attorney General Todd Blanche.
