Moderate Dems pose bigger challenge to party’s left-wing than GOP amid slim majority
Fox News
Senate Democrats got a scare some weeks ago. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., is the Senate’s president pro tempore, the most senior member of the majority party, and third in line to the presidency. Leahy joined the Senate in 1975 – when President Gerald Ford was in office.
Leahy was back at home later that night resting. And, Leahy opened up the Senate the next day. What would Democrats do if something happened to Leahy – or frankly, any other senator on their side? "This is the type of thing which keeps me up at night," moaned one senior Democratic Senate aide. "I worry about lots of things."More Related News
