The Maryland lawmaker previously served back-to-back terms as chairman of House Democrats’ campaign arm, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, leading some Democratic colleagues in the Senate to hope he could be persuaded to reup for another cycle.
But when asked Tuesday evening if he would be interested in another term as DSCC chair, Van Hollen smiled and replied, “No.”

An hour earlier, one of Van Hollen’s colleagues suggested to The Hill that he would be a good choice to serve again because of his success in the 2018 midterms and his experience heading the DCCC for two cycles in the House.
