This is leadership.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen is basically telling AIPAC “too bad” after they ran attack ads against him in Maryland. “It’s really not worth being a member of the House or Senate if you can’t look yourself in the mirror at the end of the day.”

The fact that @ChrisVanHollen has credibility with the left and with the mainstream of the Dem party is exactly why he's a great fit for leadership. None of us have forgotten how he fought for Kilmar Abrego Garcia when it wasn't safe or popular and worked to expose war crimes against Palestinians. He's also been a leading voice against the atrocities in Sudan. In other words he's showed actual character and leadership. Exactly what's needed.
The left throwing in with Van Hollen—boomer child of diplomats and career politician who has been in elected office consistently since 1991—is just deeply deeply funny to me. And I mean this with no disrespect to CVH. It’s just odd how convenient things suddenly become.

the kind of answer you’d want from a Senate Majority Leader
Asked whether Democrats should do something different than the Obama era, Sen. @ChrisVanHollen points to healthcare: the ACA was a step, but “30 cents of every healthcare dollar” still goes to profit and administration. His next step: Medicare for All.

Hasan Piker: "My goat. This man needs to be the Senate leader." 🥹🤍
Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself.   This doesn’t make us safer, see why ⬇️

Abdul putting Van Hollen’s name out publicly was really important. Helped fuel the calls to CVH’s office and pushed him towards running. Now we need comparable bravery on the House side.
.@AbdulElSayed was the first to call for Van Hollen for Senate leader. If it works, he will have: ✅ Beat dem establishment in primary ✅ Beat GOP establishment in general ✅ Led a change in Dem leadership All before being sworn in. That's some damn leadership.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was sent to a foreign gulag in El Salvador and only one Democratic elected official went to visit him. This is why we stand with @VanHollenForMD for Senate Majority Leader.

.@ChrisVanHollen you have received the mandate of heaven
Sen. John Fetterman says he’ll vote for Chuck Schumer to remain Senate Democratic leader: “I absolutely stand with Schumer. I’m going to vote for Schumer.” “I can’t imagine why you would vote for someone like Van Hollen with no record of doing anything.”

I don’t think anyone believes that Chris Van Hollen is some socialist hero but he’s a rare Democratic senator with a moral backbone who has stood against genocide and stood up for people like Abrego Garcia when enlightened centrists like yourself were saying we should abandon them to torture
Replying to @ryangrim
Chris Van Hollen is as Democratic Establishment™ as it comes and to pretend otherwise strains credulity. I do not say it to diminish him. But I genuinely find it amusing that he's checked whatever boxes the internet has deemed necessary this week! I hope everyone has fun!

Last year, Van Hollen slammed Dems for not backing Mamdani: "spineless politics…people are sick of." One who stayed silent: Schumer. Now Dems have a huge majority, after candidates adopted Mamdani's message. So, who will now lead? Schumer? …Van Hollen?zeteo.com/p/run-chris-run

Senator @ChrisVanHollen was early to call out Israel and Netanyahu for withholding food and aid to the people of Gaza. This is why we support Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader.

Tomorrow, the Senate will take a key vote on the $1.1 TRILLION defense bill. It not only fails to rein in Trump’s Iran war, it also has a provision touted by PM Netanyahu to MANDATE more U.S. defense cooperation with Israel. None of this is in our national security interests. I will vote NO.

Send Pete packing.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could be impeached by the House of Representatives this week on charges of abusing his power, including by going to war with Iran without an imminent threat or congressional approval reut.rs/4AgqW38

Maria Flores Garcia was her high school’s valedictorian & is a student at UMD. Her arrest is the latest example of how Trump lied when he said that he’d only go after the “worst of the worst.”   I’m seeking answers on Maria’s detention & working to get her released. nbcwashington.com/news/local…

The American people have spoken loud & clear: They want us to end Trump’s illegal & senseless war. And in 1 month, we’ll have an opportunity to do that. I will not support a government funding bill unless it defunds this war.
