Schumer poised to lead Senate again after surviving Democratic backlash
The Washington Post article reports that Chuck Schumer is poised to become Senate majority leader after Democrats recaptured the Senate, winning red states like Texas, Kansas and South Carolina, less than two years after his vote with Republicans to avoid a shutdown drew fierce backlash from his party's base. Some incoming freshmen, including Peggy Flanagan and Abdul El-Sayed, have withheld support for his leadership bid, and Schumer says Democrats' first bill will address the cost of living.
