The Maryland senator is the current chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), which seeks to elect Democratic candidates to the Senate.

Several senators have cited allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump in their calls for him to resign.

Three of Trump’s accusers appeared earlier this week to urge Congress to investigate their claims.

Van Hollen added on Thursday that there is “grassroots momentum” for Democrats, Independents and moderate Republicans following recent Democratic victories in New Jersey, Virginia and Alabama.
