Actor and activist Mark Ruffalo has endorsed Maryland U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D) for Majority Leader, as Democrats prepare to take power in the U.S. Senate in January. Van Hollen has "the energy, care, moral centering and strength we need for all the work that lies ahead," Ruffalo wrote on X this morning. "Van Hollen for incoming speaker," he concluded, mistaking the position for the U.S. House of Representatives majority leadership office. The high-profile Hollywood endorsement comes as the progressive and Democratic Socialist wings of the Democratic Party scored record wins in the 2026 elections, and are now leveraging that political capital to oust New York Senator Chuck Schumer as Democratic leader in the Senate.

Who cares what Mark Ruffalo has to say?
Guy really needs to stick to his trade.
Does anyone know what Taylor Swift thinks about Schumer vs. Van Hollen?
Yeah, so? He's a Far Left Hollywood liberal. And Van Hollen doesn't have a snow ball's chance.
I think this is a good idea. Letting someone lead the senate who is completely disconnected from reality will guarantee Vance or Rubio in 2028.
Cheers! He should stick to bartender skills.
Who is she?
I think VanHollen should campaign in Langley Park and take them out for margaritas like the trip he took to buy the wife beater one in Honduras.
The infamous weak”back bencher” finds a path for his antisemitic voice and useless pathetic progressive ideology
"...will guarantee Vance or Rubio in 2028" is the very definition of disconnected from reality.
Mark who? No clue who this is
But, he is currently in search of one.
Gotta admit these are pretty bold words from a side that just got crushed.
You should ask Mr Kelce.
ROTFLMAO!
@10:52 Trump is still your daddy for 2 more years!
6:41 fails to look at history. Obama and his Healthcare plan gave us Trump 1.0, then Biden's disaster of a presidency gave us Trump 2.0. I realize that history for liberals lasts only 20 minutes or so but man the disconnect is definitely in your court.
And what exactly does this have to do with Bethesda Row?
6:03: This site regularly covers local politics. If you live in Bethesda, Van Hollen is your senator, and the area would certainly gain if he became Majority Leader.
