Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is facing a potentially serious challenge to his hold on power as momentum builds behind Chris Van Hollen, with the Maryland senator now reportedly open to a run for majority leader.

A movement to draft Van Hollen to challenge Schumer is gaining steam, according to Politico Playbook, which reported Monday that two people close to the effort said it was underway.

A person familiar with Van Hollen’s thinking told the outlet that the senator has “received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode.”

    You haven’t addressed Van Hollen in particular or the source I posted which if even slightly reliable, would contradict your claim about Van Hollen. Why would the Zionists themselves have wasted their time writing up how against them Van Hollen is to them, if he’s in fact one of them?

    If you don’t respond to what I’m asking, I’ll have to assume you are a bot.

      Track aipac says he got 230k from Israeli donors, track j street on twitter might have more information. I don’t have a twitter so I can’t dig there. I disagree with track aipac saying there are commendable Israeli pacs. That’s just controlled opposition nonsense.

      Again if Abdul was getting money from an Arab state saying empowering them is his job Americans would have pitchforks out.

      Foreign countries should not be allowed to manipulate any elected officials.

        It would have been easier for you to say this before rather than get mad and insult me. I wonder why you chose this way.
