Chuck Schumer faced opposition from some Senate Democrats as he sought another term leading the caucus after Democrats won control of the Senate in the midterm elections, according to Fox News and the Washington Examiner.
Fox News reported that Schumer, who has led Senate Democrats for nearly a decade, said he planned to seek another term as leader and become majority leader again. The outlet said he would need support from a majority of Senate Democrats. Senator-elect Adam Hamilton of Kansas said he would not support Schumer’s bid, according to the Washington Examiner, which reported that Hamilton described Schumer as a polarizing figure to voters.
