Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is certain to be re-elected to the position on December 1, the Semafor website reports. The Democratic Party believes that Schumer obtained pledges of support in closed talks on a much larger scale than he disclosed publicly. Schumer and the minority leader in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffries, who is expected to be appointed Speaker of the House of Representatives, have already begun coordinating a "unified democratic agenda" and planning the legislative schedule for next year.
