SCHUMER, VAN HOLLEN: 1 CHAIR

The real news

The story, straight

Winning Senate control and choosing who leads the winning party are separate decisions. Voters elect senators; the senators then choose their party leader.

Think winning team, separate captain selection.

The Associated Press reports that Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen announced on November 12 that he will challenge current Democratic leader Chuck Schumer to lead the incoming Senate majority. Van Hollen says new leadership is needed.

Schumer says he has the votes to continue.

The leadership election will happen behind closed doors by secret ballot in early December. Neither an announcement nor a confident statement is a result.

Schumer has not been replaced.

That's the furniture problem inside the victory party: Democrats won more Senate seats, but the leadership job still has room for 1 winner. Lil'meme brought confetti and discovered he needed a spare chair.

The useful distinction: winning an election gives a party power, but doesn't settle who directs it. Watch the actual leadership ballot, not the competing declarations of confidence.

Upholstery cannot count votes.
