Idk if it was reported Van Hollen said no or where he said that, but apparently that's not the case

Yes, it seems like s th changed, a lot of people who supported Schumer before, like bernie Sanders, have withdrawn their support. Hollen seems to be ready to run now and I am hapy about it if he actually has the support. At least it seems like there is an actual attack on Schumer now with a clear spearhead.

What's that even mean. Only do it if you want to do it.

I think it means that it is bad optics for Van Hollen if he outrights starts a run against Schumer without a strong show of support for it. He does not want to seem like someone who splits the party by his run if he has not enough steam. But if a lot fo Senators call for a run and call for Schumer to resign, he would be ready to be the candidate that COULD replace him if Schumer does not manage to convince them.

Today Bernie Sanders got on mic to say he wasn't going to support Schumer. Immediately after Schumer got to the mic expressing confidence he has the votes and would be leader, his coalition got up to express support with Gillibrand being incredible passionate.

Schumer is the most unpopular he has ever been. Probably best time to run against him when asking for new leadership.
And he is old.
Like what 75?
Politicians should have an age limit, honestly.
