Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman says he’s backing Chuck Schumer as the next Senate Majority Leader.
Fetterman told reporters that he “absolutely” stands with Schumer as a growing number of current and incoming Dem Senators say it’s time for new leadership. Vermont’s Bernie Sanders and Michigan’s Elissa Slotkin held a joint press conference on Tuesday stating there needs to be a “vigorous debate about the party’s direction and future.” .
Schumer said a short time later that there is “great unity” in the Democratic caucus, and he’ll be “proud to lead it as majority leader.”
