Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is facing a potentially serious challenge to his hold on power as momentum builds behind Chris Van Hollen, with the Maryland senator now reportedly open to a run for majority leader.

A movement to draft Van Hollen to challenge Schumer is gaining steam, according to Politico Playbook, which reported Monday that two people close to the effort said it was underway.

A person familiar with Van Hollen’s thinking told the outlet that the senator has “received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode.”

    Let each of them know that you want Schumer and Jeffries gone and you want for the Trump administration: justice, investigations, and the immediate release of the Epstein files.

    Sounds like a purity test. We dont do those in the USA.

      Maybe if you actual purity testers demonstrated that you gave a single flying fuck about taking action ever, people wouldn’t point out that optical purity is all you care about.

      Now, as I should’ve done a very long time ago, I am blocking you.
