Democratic voters just delivered a Senate majority, and we do not need an unnecessary internal leadership fight right before taking power. Just as outside factions circulated petitions to try to block mainstream Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries in the House, Democratic voters are speaking up now to protect our Senate leadership.
We call on every non-DSA member of the Senate Democratic Caucus to stand united, reject Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s leadership challenge, and re-elect Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader.
Democrats suffered a net loss of 63 House seats in the 2010 midterm elections while Chris Van Hollen served as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). We need a winner, not a LOSER!
From reports that his 2016 Maryland campaign urged labor union allies to suppress Black voter turnout, to overseeing historic midterm losses, to defending Graham Platner over his Nazi-linked tattoo controversy, Chris Van Hollen has repeatedly shown poor political and moral judgment. Senate Democrats must reject his leadership bid and support Chuck Schumer as Majority Leader.
Even though I have my own personal issues with Chuck Schumer, I am not going to stand by and allow an ungrateful, chaotic leftist faction to take over Democratic Senate leadership.
