Van Hollen formally challenges Schumer to lead Senate Democrats

Van Hollen had been described as listening to colleagues; now he has made his move official, announcing a run against Chuck Schumer to lead Senate Democrats. He framed the challenge as a call for new leadership, saying voters had asked for change from Donald Trump’s policies and from a status quo he said was not working for working people. Schumer says he has the votes to remain Democratic leader. Van Hollen, who acknowledged he is the underdog, says more than 10 senators are on his side. The caucus will decide by secret ballot on Dec. 1.
