Schumer Ally's Challenge

Sen. Chris Van Hollen is challenging Sen. Chuck Schumer for Senate Democratic leadership after Democrats’ midterm victories, saying voters’ demand for change requires new leadership. The contest, the first contested Senate Democratic leadership race since 1994, has divided the caucus; Van Hollen says more than 10 senators support him, while Schumer says he has the votes to remain leader. A winner needs 28 secret-ballot votes, or 29 if Democrats win Alaska’s still-undecided Senate race.
