“Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) is picking up a key endorsement in his yet-to-be-announced bid to become the next Senate Democratic whip,” Punchbowl News reports.
“Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), who was floated as a potential contender for the job, told us that Schatz has his ‘full, unqualified support’ for the No. 2 Senate Democratic leadership post.”
“Schatz hasn’t officially jumped into the contest but is seen as the frontrunner and has been making calls to Democratic senators.”
