Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) “made only one prediction for Tuesday’s elections: Senate Majority Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will hang onto his seat,” The Hill reports.
On CNN’s "State of the Union" on Sunday, Durbin said he wouldn’t speculate about new party leadership, specifically whether he’d vote for New York Sen. Chuck Schumer (D) to take over helm of the party, even if Reid keeps his seat.
Durbin said he promised Reid he wouldn’t discuss possible changes in party leadership until after the elections. Durbin’s name also is circulating as a possible choice to take Reid’s place regardless of the outcome on Tuesday.
