Sanders, Slotkin won’t back Schumer as Senate Democratic leader
Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elissa Slotkin say they won't back Chuck Schumer as Senate Democratic leader, joining progressives and centrists demanding new leadership even as Democrats weigh reappointing him after midterm wins that included Texas, South Carolina and Kansas. Sen. Chris Van Hollen is weighing a challenge, while Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Ruben Gallego defend Schumer, who says he is confident he will win.
