Bernie Sanders, a progressive senator from Vermont, said on Tuesday he would not support Chuck Schumer’s bid to serve as the Democratic leader in the US Senate, joining a growing cohort of Democrats calling for a change in leadership.

“I personally have known Chuck Schumer for over 30 years, and I like Chuck. Nobody who works harder than Chuck Schumer. But in my view, the time is now for change, and I will not be supporting Chuck to be re-elected as the Democratic leader,” Sanders told reporters on Capitol Hill.
