Senate Democrat Leader Charles Schumer

With Harry Reid retiring at the end of his term, he’s endorsed Chuck Schumer to be his replacement:

“Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) has endorsed Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) to succeed him after he retires at the end of 2016.  “I think Schumer should be able to succeed me,” Reid said in a Friday morning interview at his home in Washington’s West End.  Reid predicted that Schumer, the No. 3 Senate Democrat in leadership and a close friend, would win the Democratic leader post without opposition …”

I speculated on this happening several years ago.
