@cspanofficial: Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said he decided to challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for Senate majority leader because while voters rejected President Trump's policies in the midterm elections, they did not vote for a return to the "status quo." "We should be very clear that does not mean the Democrats have been fully hired. Trump's policies have been fired but we are still in the position where we need to take advantage of this opportunity," he told reporters in Denver on Friday. "That does mean closing the trust deficit, which is what we talked about inside, and I don't think you can close the trust deficit by simply returning to the status quo or to business as usual. And that's why I decided to run for the Senate majority leader position." #vanhollen #schumer #senatemajorityleader #cspan
