Daschle Remains Senate Leader After Declining White House Bid
Senator Tom Daschle continues to lead the Democrats on the Senate floor after opting not to run for president in 2004. He has publicly challenged Bush administration policies, clashed on issues from tax cuts to Homeland Security, and remains a central figure as Republicans hold the majority. He says he feels renewed energy and confidence, while GOP critics note ongoing partisan maneuvering.
