Schumer reelected Senate leader after Dems expand majority
Sen. Chuck Schumer was unanimously elected Thursday for another term as Senate Democratic leader, helming a bolstered 51-seat majority for a new era of divided government in Congress.
Senate Democrats met behind closed doors at the Capitol to choose their leadership team for the new Congress that begins in January.
As Senate majority leader, Schumer has proven to be a surprisingly steady, if frenzied, force amid one of the more consequential sessions of Congress.
