The Maryland Democrat has been critical of Schumer, who has led the caucus for nearly a decade.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen announced Thursday that he would challenge Chuck Schumer for the top Democratic leadership role in the Senate, arguing the party needs to take a more populist direction.
“In this election, the American people called for change. They called for a change from Donald Trump’s disastrous policies — but even bigger than that, a change from the status quo that isn’t working for working people,” Van Hollen, who represents Maryland, said in a statement obtained by The Washington Sun.
Yeah, but what is team Move The Goalposts gonna bitch about if we start settling for Good Enough instead of sitting on our hands waiting for Perfect to fall into our laps?
Oh, they’ll still bitch about the potential for voting enfranchisement of ancient fossilized bacteria found on Mars if they have to, don’t worry about their whataboutism, it’s not going anywhere, there is no limit to the sorts of distractions they can cook up.
