Democrat infighting begins immediately after election as El-Sayed refuses to back Chuck Schumer

Michigan’s newly elected Democratic senator Abdul El-Sayed asserted he won’t back Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader.

Speaking to CNN, El-Sayed said he would back Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen as Senate Majority Leader.

US President Donald Trump reacted to El-Sayed not verbally backing Schumer for the role.

Despite El-Sayed’s comments, Schumer seemed confident he would become the Senate Majority Leader.
