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?
ReplyDeleteCheers! He should stick to bartender skills.
DeleteGuy really needs to stick to his trade.
ReplyDeleteBut, he is currently in search of one.
DeleteDoes anyone know what Taylor Swift thinks about Schumer vs. Van Hollen?
ReplyDeleteWho is she?
DeleteYou should ask Mr Kelce.
DeleteYeah, so? He's a Far Left Hollywood liberal. And Van Hollen doesn't have a snow ball's chance.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a good idea. Letting someone lead the senate who is completely disconnected from reality will guarantee Vance or Rubio in 2028.
ReplyDeleteGotta admit these are pretty bold words from a side that just got crushed.
DeleteROTFLMAO!
Delete@10:52 Trump is still your daddy for 2 more years!
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe infamous weak”back bencher” finds a path for his antisemitic voice and useless pathetic progressive ideology
ReplyDelete"...will guarantee Vance or Rubio in 2028" is the very definition of disconnected from reality.
ReplyDeleteMark who? No clue who this is
ReplyDelete6:41 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.
ReplyDeleteAnd what exactly does this have to do with Bethesda Row?
ReplyDelete6:03: 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.
