Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) joins "The Hill on NewsNation"

You might’ve seen some headlines suggesting that Congressman Glenn Ivey was calling for Chuck Schumer to lose his leadership post in the Senate. I spoke with Ivey last night and it was clear to me that he was walking up to a certain line, but not willing to move across it. I asked him if he wants Schumer to step aside, yes or no. “We’ll see. I want to hear what he says about what he’s planning on going forward,” Ivey told me. “Friday was a disaster.” Ivey isn’t the only House Democrat putting pressure on Schumer. For example, during a town hall, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) said she thinks Schumer should be replaced. In the upcoming days, we’ll see how many Democrats move up to that line, and how many move firmly across it.
