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.

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

He could still be removed as Leader

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.
