Sen. Chris Van Hollen urges colleagues to avoid rushing to select their next Senate majority leader

„There should be no coronation,“ Van Hollen said during an interview Saturday at the Crooked Con political conference in Washington, D.C. „I said very clearly that we need to have a discussion in the Democratic Caucus. We need to understand what the Democrats are going to do with this new responsibility and these new powers, and that nobody should get a blank check without a full understanding from the caucus as to where we‘re going to go.“
