U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) is part of a small group of Democrats joining forces to challenge their party’s leadership.

They call themselves the “Fight Club,” according to The New York Times.

The group of Senate Democrats includes Murphy, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Tina Smith of Minnesota, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. (Sanders is an Independent who caucuses with Dems).

They’re reportedly unhappy with how Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who heads the Democratic campaign fundraising arm of the Senate, are approaching the 2026 midterms.

That includes how the New York senators are choosing candidates to quietly support. So, Murphy and his “Fight Club” colleagues are handing out their own endorsements.
