Sen.elect Adam Hamilton (D-KS) reaffirmed on Sunday his plans not to support Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) bid for majority leader following Democrats’ successful midterm elections.
While speaking with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press, Hamilton was asked about a key debate that’s emerged among Democrats following their decisive victories in the midterm elections this week: whether Schumer is the right fit for majority leader, or if Democrats should select another lawmaker. A significant portion of successful Democrats in key races were more progressive figures who championed socialism and other policies associated with the Democratic Socialists of America, but many newly elected members will also hail from traditionally red states whose voters are more likely to be hostile to such positions.
