Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) declined to say Sunday who the new leader of the Democratic Party is following Vice President Kamala Harris‘s electoral loss to President-elect Donald Trump.

Schumer joined NBC News’s Meet the Press on Sunday for the show’s first broadcast of 2025, where he denied that Democrats misled the public about President Joe Biden‘s health but claimed that the party should have shown more “empathy” to voters regarding their economic concerns heading into the November election.
