So with these two and El Sayed, I think that means we need 3 more dems to stop Schumer from being marked as leader. Pretty sure that reduces the majority below 50 and results in either a revote or a new option

From the article:

Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.) said again earlier this week he would back Van Hollen over Schumer. Sen.-elect Annie Andrews (D-S.C.) said Friday that she wants “generational change” in Senate leadership, after pledging during the campaign not to support Schumer. Sens.-elect Adam Hamilton (D-Kan.) and Troy Jackson (D-Maine) have said the same.

Pretty sure the point is to force them to keep re-rolling votes to delay everything as much as possible similar to what’s going on with Israel’s PM election. I could be wrong tho, I’m no expert on the legal background of this bs
