No leadership coronations

Pamela, Senator Chuck Schumer has been taking a victory lap since last week’s elections, as he presumes that his caucus will make him Minority Leader for the last two years of his term. Yesterday, Senator Bernie Sanders poured cold water on Chuck’s hopes: Bernie made his announcement alongside centrist Senator Elissa Slotkin, signaling opposition to Schumer across the ideological spectrum. The American people voted for fresh faces―Senators should offer them, rather than offering up a coronation to Schumer. Tell newly-elected and re-elected Democrats: Don’t coronate new leaders! Hold an open and accountable process and make sure the leaders earn your vote!
