Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen launched a leadership bid Thursday after many anti-establishment Democrats opposed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Democratic Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin and many incoming freshman senators opposed Schumer for majority leader and showed support for Van Hollen. The Maryland senator said in his announcement that Senate Democrats needed new leadership to deliver on the economy and corruption.
