Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has been unanimously re-elected as Senate Democratic leader, a position he’s held since 2017.

While the notion of Trump admitting a mistake and changing his running mate may seem far-fetched given his personality and ego, the looming Ohio deadline for ballot lock-in adds an element of urgency to the situation.… Continue reading
