Senator Chuck Schumer has secured a substantial majority in the Senate and is reportedly looking to expand it further. Despite some internal Democratic dissent, Schumer has garnered the necessary votes to become the next Majority Leader.
Schumer has also publicly stated that Senate Democrats will prevent President Trump from appointing a "right-winger" to the Supreme Court. He characterized the Democrats' recent success as a "generational remake" of the Senate.
The Democratic leader's comments come as the party celebrates its new strength in the upper chamber. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
