Schneider defeated a frequent challenger, moderate Republican Rep. Bob Dold, in 2016 after Illinois voters mostly rejected the era of Donald Trump &mdash; and now the seat is considered solid Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>A House Democrat and member of the coalition told the Washington Examiner ahead of the vote that they were confident Schneider would win the leadership race.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a huge power block now,&rdquo; the Democratic lawmaker said. &ldquo;Schneider is crafty and really responsive and really good at helping position members for what they want.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Davids had campaigned on her experience in a swing district and as the sole Democratic representative in the red state of Kansas. She won her House seat in 2018 after defeating four-term incumbent Kevin Yoder, largely due to her ability to draw in independent and moderate voters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1886110\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1886110\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Democrat Coalition elects Rep.
