Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was unanimously chosen to lead his fellow Democrats in the next Congress, his colleagues electing him as head of their caucus for the fifth time since 2016.
"I am honored and humbled to be chosen by my colleagues to continue leading Senate Democrats during this crucial period for our country," Schumer said in a statement posted on social media. "As I have long said, our preference is to secure bipartisan solutions wherever possible and look for ways to collaborate with our Republican colleagues to help working families," he continued. "However, our Republican colleagues should make no mistake about it, we will always stand up for our values."
