Senate Democrats to hold leadership elections after losing chamber majority

Democrat senators will hold a vote on Tuesday to fill their leadership positions in the chamber after the GOP secured control in the Senate for the next congress.

Last month's election cost Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a job he has long held: Senate majority leader. But it will only amount to a demotion for Schumer, who will assume the position of Senate minority leader in 2025. Aubrie Spady is a Writer for Fox News Digital.

Majority Whip Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., is also expected to remain the No. 2 Democrat in the chamber as minority whip, a position he has held for nearly two decades.
