Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said Thursday that he will challenge Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York for the party’s majority leader post in the next Congress. Van Hollen said voters called for change in the midterm elections and that Democrats need “new leadership.” Schumer said he has the votes to keep serving as leader and welcomed discussion about the caucus’s future. Sen. Bernie Sanders said in a post on X that he backs Van Hollen. Democrats are set to hold the Senate majority in the 120th Congress, which begins January 3, 2027.
