Schumer bets on Rangel: $10,000 Contribution

The Hill reports:

Sen. Charles Schumer (D), the de facto leader of New York’s Democratic Party, is throwing his support behind embattled Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.).

Schumer, whose recent success at picking winners among Democrats is well established, made a $10,000 contribution to Rangel’s reelection campaign in June , breaking what had been a long dry spell of contributions from Democratic lawmakers.

Mr. Ethics: Chuck Schumer.
