genuine question, why do I keep hearing about Chris Van Hollen becoming senate majority leader? he’s not even running…Chuck Schumer is unopposed and will obviously become the leader.

And he’s completely right. I don’t know all that much about this guy but if it’s Schumer that would be a ridiculous fumble

Van Hollen has balls of steel, you don’t need to worry about him When Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador at the beginning of the administration, Van Hollen personally flew down to the prison and demanded to speak to him. Which royally pissed off the White House

I remember this happening but didn’t realize it was him. Seems like a pretty decent guy then and a fresh face would definitely be nice

Yeah unlike Schumer, Van Hollen actually has a spine and won’t bow to this “ohh well maybe we can agree to have only 10,000 people black bagged by ICE instead of 10,001 in the name of bipartisanship” type shit everyone is sick of He’s the best candidate because he’s liked by both progressives and more centrist dems. I don’t think he’s perfect, but he can absolutely gather the needed votes for this
