Senate 2027 Majority Leader Whip Count Detail - Update 11/10/2026
Prospective whip count of 2027 Democratic Senators who are likely to support and oppose Chuck Schumer for Majority Leader. Those listed in opposition have either made public statements he should be replaced, waffled when asked if they would support him, or are known progressives. Those listed as supporters have either stated their support or are pretty solid moderates generally known to be in the Schumer camp.

@mastodonmigration Not sure that Amy Klobuchar will be voting on this since she got a new job .
@mmb She votes, unless she resigns prior to the end of the term.
@Rassilon @mastodonmigration one of the important things to learn from this is that a significant number of those asked have refused to comment. This means they don't want to look bad for their decision, whether or not they've decided yet.
That means if their constituents are vocal and loud about opposition to Schumer and Jeffries it is very likely they will oppose them. Or if they haven't made up their mind, they likely will not support them publicly before the vote, which is also helpful
@Rassilon This is good research and the source for some of the data behind this whip count. Where this differs is that this count uses past statements, and know political affiliations to classify some Senators as "Likely".
