数名新当选的民主党参议员表明，他们并不承诺支持联邦参议院多数党领袖查克·舒默参议员。

联邦参议院民主党人很快将决定由谁来领导他们，利用他们在上议院新获得的控制权。尽管民主党联邦参议院少数党领袖、纽约州参议员查克·舒默看起来是热门人选，但该党团中有一些人并不急于支持他。
舒默领导联邦参议院民主党已有近十年时间，自2017年以来以多数党和少数党领袖的身份执掌该党团。但这批新晋的民主党参议员涵盖了从温和派到进步派的各种意识形态立场，在支持他连任一事上最多也只是态度冷淡。
还有一些人在竞选期间就表示，他们根本不会支持他。

“我并无冒犯查克·舒默之意，但我们需要新的领导力，”当选参议员亚当·汉密尔顿在9月告诉CNN，“我们需要更年轻、更有活力的领导力，注入新鲜血液。”
汉密尔顿是一位温和派的大型教会牧师，在选举夜击败了堪萨斯州共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔，为这个近一个世纪以来首次由民主党拿下的“向日葵之州”翻转了席位。和本届周期的其他民主党候选人一样，他主张民主党需要“新的理念和新的领导力”。
“在堪萨斯州，查克·舒默对民主党来说是个包袱，我们需要能够凝聚人心的领袖，把大家团结起来，不只是团结民主党人，还要团结民主党和共和党，共同解决实际问题，”他说，“我觉得人们对僵局感到不满，因为大家没有齐心协力去解决问题。”
预计民主党将在今年晚些时候举行领导层选举，舒默必须巩固他在新扩大的党团中的支持以保住领袖职位。但他只需获得民主党联邦参议院议员的多数支持即可。

到目前为止，民主党在上议院的多数党席位已达54席，还可能进一步扩大，这取决于密西西比州和阿拉斯加州的选举结果，截至周四，这两个州的选举结果倾向于民主党。

舒默此前认为他仍将领导民主党，并在周三对记者称，新晋参议员及其选民近年来对民主党方向的不满并非针对他个人。
“问题不在我，”舒默说，“我会再次当选多数党领袖，但现在的关键是关注美国人民以及他们的需求。”
不过，仍有一批新晋议员，包括缅因州当选参议员特洛伊·杰克逊、伊利诺伊州的朱莉安娜·斯特拉顿、密歇根州的阿卜杜勒·赛义德和明尼苏达州的佩吉·弗拉纳根，他们并不完全支持舒默。

杰克逊在选举日前夕对记者表示，他对舒默的立场没有改变。
“我告诉舒默，我会支持其他人，”杰克逊说，“所以现在和过去一样。”
这个“其他人”可能是马里兰州民主党参议员克里斯·范·霍伦，进步派人士如赛义德已提出让他取代舒默领导联邦参议院民主党。范·霍伦可能另有打算——他曾表示正“试探性”考虑竞选2028年总统职位。

一位熟悉范·霍伦想法的民主党助手告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，这位议员在选择新领袖前认为，“党团需要进行坦诚公开的对话，讨论如何推进反映美国人民意愿的议程”。
“他已经明确表示，新的民主党多数派需要利用其权力推动一项积极的经济议程，”该助手说。

Schumer faces mutiny from newly elected Senate Dems as party prepares to seize power
Several senators-elect, including Adam Hamilton and Troy Jackson, have said they won’t back Schumer for majority leader

Several newly elected Democratic senators suggest they are not committed to supporting Sen. Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Senate Democrats will soon decide who will lead them with their newly acquired grip on power in the upper chamber, and while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., appears to be the favorite, some in the caucus aren’t eager to back him.
Schumer has led Senate Democrats for nearly a decade, helming the caucus as both majority and minority leader since 2017. But many of the fresh crop of Democratic senators-elect, which spans the ideological gamut from moderate to progressive, are tepid, at best, in backing him for another term.
And some said throughout their campaigns that they wouldn’t support him at all.

DEM SENATE HOPEFUL REJECTS SCHUMER BUT BENEFITS FROM MILLIONS IN SPENDING BY HIS ALLIES

“I mean no disrespect for Chuck Schumer, but we need new leadership,” Sen.-elect Adam Hamilton told CNN in September. “We need new younger leadership, young blood.”
Hamilton is the moderate megachurch pastor who toppled Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., on Election Night, flipping the Sunflower State for the first time in nearly a century. He, like others this cycle, argued that Democrats needed “fresh ideas and fresh leadership.”
“In Kansas, Chuck Schumer is a liability for Democrats, and we’ve got to have leaders that can unite us, bring us together, not just Democrats, but bring together Democrats and Republicans to solve real problems,” he said. “And I think people are frustrated with the gridlock in the sense that people are not working together to solve problems.”
Democrats are expected to hold their leadership elections later this year, and Schumer will have to shore up support within his newly expanded caucus to stay at the top. But he will only need a majority of Senate Democrats to back him.

So far, Democrats’ majority in the upper chamber is at 54 seats and could further expand depending on the results in Mississippi and Alaska, which as of Thursday were leaning in their favor.

Schumer believed that he would still be the one to lead Democrats and contended to reporters on Wednesday that issues that incoming senators and their voters may have had with the direction of the Democratic Party in recent years were not about him.
“The issue is not me,” Schumer said. “I’ll be re-elected as majority leader, but the issue is focusing on the American people and what they want.”
Still, there is a faction of newcomers, including senators-elect Troy Jackson in Maine, Julianna Stratton in Illinois, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota, who aren’t all in for Schumer.

Jackson, speaking to reporters just before Election Day, said his position hadn’t changed on Schumer.
“I told Schumer that I’m going to, you know, support somebody else,” Jackson said. “So it’s no different now.”
That somebody else could be Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who has been proposed as an alternative by progressives, like El-Sayed, to lead Senate Democrats instead of Schumer. Van Hollen may have his eyes elsewhere — he has said that he’s “kicking the tires” on a 2028 run.

A Democratic aide familiar with Van Hollen’s thinking told Fox News Digital that before selecting a new leader, the lawmaker believed “the caucus needs to have an honest and open conversation about how we move an agenda forward that reflects the will of the American people.”
“He’s made it clear that the new Democratic majorities need to use their power to push a proactive, economic agenda,” they said.
