Schumer is the Senate Minority Leader
By Michael V. Cusenza U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the new Minority Leader of the Upper Chamber, recently announced the Senate Democratic Leadership and committee ranking members for the 115th Congress. “I am humbled and honored by the trust and confidence my colleagues have placed in me and proud to introduce this leadership team,” Schumer said last week. “I am going to wake up every single day focused on how Senate Democrats can effectively fight for America’s middle class, and those struggling to make it. This team is ideologically and geographically diverse, it mixes the wisdom of experience with the vigor of youth, at least in Senate years, but from the top to bottom, each of these Senators has devoted their lives to fighting for the middle class and those struggling to get there.”
Some notable names and assignments include: Minority Whip: Sen. Dick Durbin (DIll.) Vice Chairwoman of the Conference: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) Chairman of Outreach: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) Sanders, fresh off a presidential primary season that saw him earn more than 13 million votes and galvanize the progressive electorate, is also set to be the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee. Upon learning that Schumer will succeed Harry Reid as Senate minority leader, President-elect Donald Trump tweeted, “I have always had a good relationship with Chuck Schumer. He is far smarter than Harry R and has the ability to get things done. Good news!”
