In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption.
To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call.
That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.
Trump’s disastrous economy and the disastrous war in Iran are what led Democrats to win the House and Senate, not Chuck Schumer. People are demanding change, but people like you are more interested in preserving the status quo of endless wars, corruption, and corporate influence than addressing the issues that voters actually care about.
I don’t think the Democrats had the foresight to plan it, but it is far more profitable for the Democrats to Lead impeachment in January. Send a message: don’t just impeach, put him on trial and make him the face of the GOP for the next decade.
Democrats not showing up for the Hegseth impeachment vote is a giant warning sign. Forget Republicans - did Democrats and their leaders watch the election results last week?
NEW: Sen. Chris Van Hollen is now open to a run against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Van Hollen has "received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode," according to a person familiar w/ his thinking around leadership
"The door is not shut," the person added
Van Hollen is a leading progressive & has said he needs commitments from Schumer before agreeing to support him for another term as leader. The Maryland Democrat has also been eyeing a presidential run
🚨NEWS: @SenBlumenthal declines to endorse @SenSchumer as the next Senate Majority Leader
Blumenthal just told reporters: "We need a conversation about leadership going forward because we need new energy and ideas"
. @AnnieAndrewsMD’s victory was supposed to surprise you. But more importantly, it was supposed to surprise national Republicans.
Smart insight from @JoshuaKarp on how his team advised the campaign on managing the attention economy.

Truth is @RoyCooperNC would be more effective in one day as the Senate Majority Leader than @SenSchumer has been in his tenure. Time is now for leadership change.
🔥 JON STEWART ON @SenSchumer: “Someone has to meet this moment… you need to do is remove that system of seniority from Democratic politics. It’s a bullshit system and it needs to go. Schumer fought tooth and nail against half of these fucking people.”
Van Jones on the Democrats gaining House control: "This is not a tsunami, this is a volcanic eruption of blue Crayola all over..." #Elections2026#Midterms2026#BlueWave
Democrats will now control the House and Senate and be able to hold Trump accountable. That's great.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we must do more. We must aggressively fight for working families.
No more excuses.
