Working Families Party Joins Call for Schumer to Step Aside in Senate Leader Race | Common Dreams
Common Dreams reports that the Working Families Party joined calls for Chuck Schumer to step aside as Senate Democratic leader, backing Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who announced a challenge after Democrats won Senate and House control in the week's elections. The party's letter thanks Schumer for past wins while urging a new generation of leadership on housing, healthcare, and childcare; Sen. Elissa Slotkin said she won't support Schumer, and a tally puts 16 senators behind Schumer, eight behind or leaning toward Van Hollen, and 22 undecided.
