桑德斯称不支持舒默连任民主党领袖：与斯洛特金同称现在到了换人的时候
美国参议员 Bernie Sanders 11月10日在国会山表示，他不会支持 Chuck Schumer 连任参议院民主党领袖，成为迄今公开反对舒默继续掌舵的最重量级进步派人物。
桑德斯是与民主党团协作的无党派参议员。他与密歇根州民主党参议员 Elissa Slotkin 一同出席记者会时说，他与舒默相识30多年、也敬重舒默，没有人比舒默工作更努力，但在他看来，现在到了换人的时候，他不会支持舒默连任民主党领袖。被问到即便舒默无人竞争是否也会反对时，桑德斯说，他认为舒默不会在无人竞争的情况下参选。两人表示，他们刚与舒默会过面，舒默提出了一些想法，但他们认为还不够。斯洛特金说，除非看到一份明确不同的具体计划，否则她不会支持任何想得到她这一票的人，她本人不谋求这个职位。
民主党在11月3日的中期选举中夺回参议院，新国会开幕时将至少握有54席，舒默若保住党团支持将成为多数党领袖。舒默当天回应称，他有信心当选多数党领袖。马里兰州参议员 Chris Van Hollen 被视为可能的挑战者，他当天对是否参选未作表态。目前尚无人正式宣布挑战舒默，民主党团定于12月初以无记名投票选出领袖，舒默只需党团过半数支持即可连任。
Sanders Says He Won't Back Schumer for Democratic Leader: Joins Slotkin in Saying the Time Is Now for Change
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders said at the Capitol on November 10 that he will not support Chuck Schumer's bid to remain leader of the Senate Democrats, becoming the most prominent progressive so far to oppose Schumer's continued leadership.
Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, appeared at a news conference alongside Michigan Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin. He said he has known Schumer for more than 30 years and likes him, and that nobody works harder than Schumer, but that in his view the time is now for change and he will not be supporting Schumer to be reelected as the Democratic leader. Asked whether he would oppose Schumer even if he ran unopposed, Sanders replied that he did not think Schumer would run unopposed. The two said they had just come from a meeting with Schumer at which he laid out some ideas, but that those ideas did not go far enough. Slotkin said she would not back anyone seeking her vote unless she saw a concrete plan that was definitively different, and that she was not seeking the job herself.
Democrats won control of the Senate in the November 3 midterm elections and will hold at least 54 seats when the new Congress convenes, which would make Schumer majority leader if he keeps his caucus's support. Schumer responded the same day that he was confident he would be elected majority leader. Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen has been mentioned as a possible challenger and demurred on Tuesday when asked whether he would run. No one has formally declared a challenge, and Senate Democrats are expected to choose their leader by secret ballot in early December; Schumer needs only a majority of the caucus to stay on.
