Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) called on Nov. 13, 2026, for abolishing the Senate filibuster to allow legislation to pass and said he will not seek the presidency in 2028, The Hill reported.
The Hill reported Van Hollen made the remarks while speaking to reporters at the What’s Next conference in Denver. The article noted he is positioning himself against Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in the contest for the next Senate majority leader.
The Hill is the source of the reporting on both his comments about the filibuster and his announcement that he will not pursue a 2028 White House bid.
