Brian Schatz Makes Leadership Ambitions Clear

Punchbowl News: “Of the 10 Senate Democrats who voted to advance the GOP-drafted government funding bill last week, one name stands out: Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI).”

“Schatz was agonizing over his vote more than most Democrats, per our conversations with his colleagues. It’s not difficult to see why.”

“That vote, which has prompted a ton of backlash from activists and the party base, was one of the clearest signs yet that Schatz is angling for a prominent leadership role in the Senate Democratic Caucus.”
