US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailySen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, a progressive critic of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, is now weighing a challenge after growing calls urging him to run. Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan is also considering a bid.
At a Crooked Media event Saturday, Van Hollen said the caucus needs a real discussion, since no leader should get open-ended support before members know the party's direction.
More Democrats are now pushing for fresh Senate leadership, saying the party has moved left and needs a leader who reflects that.
