Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced at the Senate Democratic lunch Wednesday that he will nominate Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) next month to serve next year as Senate president pro tempore, a position that is third in line to the presidency.
The nomination will need to be approved by the entire Senate Democratic Conference.
Schumer also announced that the Senate Democratic caucus will hold its leadership election on Dec. 8.
The job of Senate president pro tempore comes with a large, ornate office on the ground floor of the U.S. Capitol and a large security detail.
The current office holder, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), will retire from Senate after eight terms at the end of the year.

Wow! Murray is the STUPIDEST person in the Senate, amongst many stupid people. Schumer is hell bent on destroying the US.
News sources use the word democratic to refer to the party, we should all individuals in that party, democratics.
If I’m not mistaken, that’s tradition. The longest-serving senator of the majority party gets the job.
And that’s just crazy. It pretty much guarantees that the person third in line to the presidency will be old, really old.
The Peter Principle is real.
Feinstein is demented, and Leahy is not in optimal health. This is what you get.
Chuck Grassley, 89, would have been it if the GOPE hadn’t blown the Senate.
Welcome to the world we helped create through our inaction...
Yep. I remember quite clearly after the 911 attacks Patty praising Bin-Laden because “he built schools, roads and day care centers” Yes Patty, what a nice man he is. He murdered 3000 people but hey give him a break because he built schools and day care centers. And incredibly incredibly, 21 years later she is STILL in office! I don’t know who is more brainless, her or the morons who vote for her.
PAYOFF for VOTE FRAUD!!
More proof we desperately need to repeal the 17th Amendment!
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
State legislatures couldn’t do worse!
I hear he's the future of the 'Rats. [Rewatch Idiocracy]
Festerneck...
And dumber than a bucket of rocks too. The perfect democrat POTUS.
You are right. That is a hard nut to crack. I have relatives that would vote for a pile of dog poop if it ran for office with a 'D' behind its name.
My senator could not have a lower IQ and still walk and chew gum at the same time.
Perfect!
When I have heard the saying “Politics is sports for physically ugly and incompetent people” I didn’t realize it was specifically targeted to Democrats.
That is not a recent picture! She hasn’t age well
Leahy-—8 terms X 6 years each==48 years of NOT helping America.
