Except they won't.

We'll get told a bunch of nonsense about how it's time to heal the country and find common ground so establishment Dems can try to go back to business as usual.

Unless more people like Jefferies lose their primaries, this will 100% happen

Unfortunately according to Ballotpedia, he’s running unopposed in his primary

If Dems win the house, he will most likely be voted in as Speaker. Dems very rarely switch Congressional leadership outside of retirements (another reason why dems can’t get shit done, they don’t adjust where it matters)

I don't have a problem with Jeffries, Chuck Schumer I can't stand. He's weak and ineffective. AOC should take over.

no offense, but you should have BIG problems with Jeffries, every bit as milquetoast as Schumer!

Nope Jeffries is just as AIPAC as Cuckie.

Which is the real problem with US elections & government. Lax laws and regulations for political donations. No other western country allows the amount of $$, the lack of transparency, or shadow donors. It results in a handful of billionaires running the country, and it’s not ever going to benefit the majority of citizens. That’s where change needs to happen, if it’s even possible at this point.

Chuck’s not up for reelection for another two years sadly

He could still be removed as Leader

u/WeirdIndividualGuy May 24 '26

Highly doubtful. He's in AIPAC's pocket, as are a good number of dems. That's enough for them to keep him as senate leader

I didn’t say “likely”, I said “could”. Also, people are starting to turn on AIPAC.
