Tyler Pager: Van Hollen Is Trying to Get the New Blood of the Party to Rally Behind Him, But They’re Not as Progressive as He Is

RUSH EXCERPT:
PAGER: "The other challenge for van hollen is that many of the new senators who were elected were elected on a mandate of change, but not necessarily elected from the left flank of the party. When you‘re looking at candidates from South Carolina and Mississippi and Texas, those candidates are, you know, running on populist messages, but not necessarily as far to the left as someone like Abdul El-Sayed. And so for van hollen, that is some of the challenges that he has is as he‘s trying to get this new blood of the party to rally behind him. They are not as progressive as he is."
