On the Democratic Senate Leadership Fight

Jonathan Bernstein: “Chuck Schumer would be fine. Chris Van Hollen would be fine. Congressional leaders follow their caucuses; the difference between them on policy or strategy is just less than people think.”

“I’ll add a couple of things. If anyone thinks that signaling young or outsider is important (and I mostly don’t), Van Hollen is as ‘insider’ as anyone, and he’s 67. But he’s probably a fine choice if Dem Senators don’t want Schumer.”
