Schumer plans to pick Gary Peters to run DSCC

preview

Sen. Gary Peters. Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesIncoming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is poised to name Sen. Gary Peters to head their party's Senate fundraising arm for the pivotal midterm elections, a move he hopes will allow him to retain his title, according to four people familiar with the matter.Why it matters: As chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Peters will be tasked with raising the enormous amounts of money Democrats will need to preserve their razor-thin majority. The appointment is something of a surprise, given the Michigander is viewed as a low-key Midwesterner.What to watch: Several Republican senators are retiring in 2022 in key states, including Pennsylvania and North Carolina. The big picture: Peters just won reelection in a tight race in Michigan, but he didn't trounce his opponent, Republican John James. He also underperformed compared to Biden, winning by about 65,000 fewer votes than the president-elect. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have arrived at the Capitol. Members of congressional leadership and VIPs will soon be introduced. .What's next: Biden and Harris will take their oaths of office. Shortly after, President Biden will deliver his inaugural address. .President Trump's outgoing antitrust chief Makan Delrahim on Tuesday endorsed a proposal from House Democrats that would put new limits on acquisitions by large companies, during comments made at a Duke University event.Why it matters: Momentum is building for major antitrust reform, updating rules that were written for railroads instead of routers.President Trump and his family took off on Air Force One at 9 a.m. on Wednesday morning for the final time en route to Florida.The big picture: Trump's final hours as president were punctuated by his decisions to snub his successor's inauguration and grant pardons to many of his allies who have been swept up in corruption scandals.
