Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he’s not picking a favorite in the increasingly crowded Democratic presidential primary field — not even if it is his state’s junior senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, who is poised to announce a 2020 exploratory committee Tuesday night.

“I work very well and closely with Sen. Gillibrand,” Schumer said. “But I’m not mixing in the presidential political game right now.”
