⚡️ Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said Tuesday he's "in the process right now of calling my colleagues," edging closer to challenging Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "I am listening to all the people from around the country that were calling for big change," he told the Popular Mandate gathering in Southeast DC, Semafor's David Weigel reported. "We have two newly-elected senators who would not be there if Schumer and the DSCC had their way. Schumer and the DSCC sided with the crypto industry and AIPAC,” Van Hollen said. His remarks came as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said he "will not be supporting Chuck to be reelected as the Democratic leader." Senate Democrats are expected to hold leadership elections in early December.
