The only thing that Moskowitz and AOC probably both agree on is that Jeffries should be Speaker.
“You’re the only one who can win that seat,” Jeffries told Moskowitz as he was considering dropping out of politics. “You’re the linchpin for the other three.”

Real talk this is what’s so dope about her. Explaining shit to people who’ve been so online that they don’t know how things work. And you need to know how a thing works in order to change it for the better.

They’re all saying on the record in interviews that they are voting for Jeffries. Even the most progressive incumbents. FFS, let it go.
Jeffries watch: The new group of DSA-aligned House Dems isn't ruling out forcing a recorded vote during the caucus' internal speaker election.
Here's how Melat Kiros replied when we asked if the group would block a unanimous consent request:

IMO, Gunn got all the casting and tone for Superman right. Movie was meh but the casting and tone were spot on. As for everything else…no comment.

No one cares about Fetterman. In a 56D–44R Senate, his vote won't matter, and he won't be the Dem nominee in PA in 2028.
Whoever is will have no trouble unifiying the state's Democratic coalition, either. At this point, he's likelier to cause trouble for the GOP than Democrats.

Democrats just pulled off a political earthquake on Tuesday, but the blue tsunami creates a problem the party isn't ready to talk about: what happens to John Fetterman?
The Pennsylvania senator has become the most vocal moderate in the caucus, replacing Joe Manchin and Kirsten most willing to break ranks on immigration enforcement, support for Israel, and government shutdowns. That worked fine when Democrats were in the minority. Now that Chuck Schumer controls the Senate with a comfortable margin, Fetterman's maverick streak isn't charming anymore. It's a liability.
Here's the twist: Fetterman is currently more popular with Pennsylvania Republicans than with Democrats in his own state, making his 2028 reelection as a Democrat look increasingly remote.

Hakeem Jeffries is 56. He’s been minority leader for less than 4 years. He has broad support in his caucus and just led his party to the largest House majority in ~35 years despite gerrymandering, and yet the punditry is obsessed with whether he should step down.
Can you imagine a scenario in which this happens for Republicans? I cannot.
