Van Hollen disputes Schumer’s claim that he has the votes to stay leader
Sen. Chris Van Hollen disputes Chuck Schumer's claim that he has the votes to remain Senate Democratic leader, accusing Schumer's team of spreading misinformation to scare away his backers, whom Van Hollen counts at about 15 senators. Senate Democrats have privately discussed moving the leadership vote to before Thanksgiving, which would require waiving caucus rules, though Politico reports Schumer remains favored.
