House Minority Whip Katherine Clark has sent a letter to her fellow Democrats asking for their support to become the next Majority Leader.
Clark would be the first woman to serve in that top leadership role.
Right now, Democrats are plotting their strategy for the new Congress, after overwhelming victories nationwide during the midterm elections.
They say they want to focus on lowering costs, as well as accountability and oversight.
“We’re going to lower their costs, we’re going to make healthcare affordable and available, and we’re going to hold the crooks accountable,” Clark said. “Unfortunately, there are a lot of potential subjects.”
“Obviously, everything he’s done is now on the table and the Democrats will have subpoena power, will be able to root out what Trump and his children, his cronies, his corporations have been doing. And we will just follow the evidence,” said Sen. Ed Markey.
Democrats said they want to end the war in Iran, reverse health care cuts and put a stop to tariffs.
Markey was asked if he’d support Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader.
He did not say either way, but did say that Schumer called him on election night to congratulate him.
