Schumer has votes for majority leader despite some Democratic dissent
The Hill reports that Chuck Schumer has the votes to remain Senate majority leader despite dissent from newly elected Democratic senators, including Adam Hamilton, Troy Jackson, Abdul El-Sayed, Juliana Stratton, and Peggy Flanagan, who have said they will not back him. Schumer says he will be reelected in December 2026, and that the matter is about the American people rather than himself.
