WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday was unanimously reelected as the Senate Democratic leader for the fifth consecutive time.
“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. “Our caucus has led the way in passing historic legislation that has improved the lives of millions of Americans and we remain laser focused on addressing the most pressing challenges facing our country.”
Senate Democrats also unanimously voted to approve their new leadership team for the 119th Congress, which kicks off in January with Donald Trump heading back to the White House.
Democratic leaders will mostly be the same as they’ve been in this Congress, with Schumer at the top and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) keeping his No. 2 post as the Democratic whip. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) will keep their posts as vice chairs of the Democratic Caucus. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) will keep her title as the caucus’ secretary.
