Senator Chris Van Hollen Challenges Chuck Schumer for Senate Majority Leader

WASHINGTON D.C. Amidst calls for a change in leadership within the Democratic party in the US Senate, Senator Chris Van Hollen has announced his intention to challenge current leader Chuck Schumer for the position of Majority Leader.

Van Hollen's announcement, just days after Democrats regained control of both houses of Congress by defeating President Donald Trump's Republican party, has intensified the leadership competition within the party.
