What are your thoughts? Sen. Chuck Schumer was unanimously elected for another term as Senate Democratic leader. MORE:
Senate Democrats met behind closed doors at the Capitol to choose their leadership team for the new Congress that begins in January.
He took the helm in the weeks after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, and led his party through the COVID-19 crisis and unexpected legislative achievements, many of them bipartisan. A former campaign chief, he steered the party to the majority and expanded it to 51 seats with Sen. Raphael Warnock's special election win Tuesday in Georgia.
With Republicans taking control of the House, it will be a new challenge for Schumer in divided Washington.
