Description
As calls for new leadership in the Democratic Party grow, Hakeem Jeffries just made a major mistake—at the worst possible time for him—that proves he’s too incompetent to lead the Democratic Party. Instead, more people are signing onto the effort to draft Ayanna Pressley as an alternative. Meanwhile, in the Senate, Chuck Schumer’s leadership may be in jeopardy after Bernie Sanders announced he’d be opposing Schumer’s leadership in a joint press conference with Elissa Slotkin (who also opposes Schumer’s leadership). In this video we’ll talk about where we’re at in the longshot campaign to replace Democratic leadership and discuss the dirty tricks senior Democrats are playing to cling to power.
