Sen. Michael Bennet is the highest-ranking Democrat in Congress to signal just how far the dissatisfaction with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has spread throughout the Democratic Party.
NPR reported that Bennet was asked if Schumer should step aside after his handling of the recently passed government funding bill at a town hall on Wednesday.
“I do think on the leadership question, it’s always better to examine whether folks are in the right place, and we’re certainly going to have that conversation,” Bennet said in his home state of Colorado, stopping just short of calling for Schumer to step down.
