Senate Democrats on Tuesday approved their leadership team for the next Congress, with Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar elevated to the No. 3 spot as the chair of the Steering and Policy Committee. She joins New York Sen.

Democrats chose to reselect U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) as Senate Democratic minority leader, a role he filled under the previous Trump Administration, and also reappointed U.S.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), vice chairman of the Policy and Communications Committee, had expressed interest in Klobuchar’s post, but he agreed to take the No. 4 position in Senate leadership, avoiding the prospect of a contested election. He will lead a new role as chairman of the Strategic Communications Committee.
