Chris Van Hollen Is Angry—at Trump, and at His Party’s Lame Pollsters
The New Republic publishes Perry Bacon's conference conversation with Senator Chris Van Hollen, who says he is mad as hell at a lawless president and at pollsters who insisted Democrats talk only about costs, recounting his trip to El Salvador over the deportation of Kilmar Armando Ábrego García and quoting FDR's "I welcome their hatred." Van Hollen calls endorsing Zohran Mamdani a no-brainer, faults Israel's collective punishment in Gaza, and says he will introduce legislation for a surtax on incomes over a million dollars to cut working people's taxes.
