Van Hollen was a Platner apologist. That alone should be disqualifying for any leadership role. thehill.com/homenews/senate/…

Once Bernie came to Florida all of Angie Nixon's hard work and savvy campaigning went down the drain. My thing is I hope SHE knows that.

You guys want to blame Schumer for Florida because it allows you to ignore that Nixon ran the most progressive platform of anyone, who ran in red states.
The ones who won in red states, even when being greatly outspent didn’t campaign with Bernie or align with the DSA. But you guys don’t want to deal with that fact.

I hereby demand that we get NEW LEADERSHIP of the DSA right NOW! They haven’t served the people which proves that they are corrupt and backed by Zionists. They have a 1% approval rating which also proves they must go NOW!
Finally some accountability from and @errollouis ! How come yall didn’t hold their feet to the fire during the primaries? in any case,people are figuring out DSA’s playbook. And judging by all the loses they had on Election night, their days are numbered.

Oh, lookie here! Bernie Sanders is saying pretty much the same thing Hakeem Jeffries said.
But we’re all good with it now, right?
Just making sure I understand the rules. 👀

And this is why they’re pissed too.
It’s on full display now that DSA, leftists, and Socialists are toxic and America rejects them even in a tsunami!
2028 candidates better beware!!

“There’s a clear lesson for Democrats looking at these election results: It’s preferable to run moderates — and avoid far-left candidates — in battleground areas.”

Just a reminder that some of the same people calling for Jeffries not to be speaker are some of the same people who wanted to teach Harris a lesson and assisted trump being reelected. Some of the same people that insisted Joe Biden step down. And they think we should listen now?

Hakeem Jeffries will be speaker, despite what paid online influencers, among others, have to say about it.

You all can thank Jasmine Crockett for those down ballot races in Texas! Because while you DSA newbies were only focusing on that Senate race, Jasmine was focusing on those other races that turned Texas blue across the board! So thank @Jasmine ForUS mine

This is like a dream come true.
DSA, Justice Dems, and Socialists will become irrelevant and can’t pull the bs they did in Biden’s administration holding up legislation that will help the American people because of foreign countries.
William Lawerence will join with them too but it’s still not enough.
It will be the media that keeps the focus on them.

Great piece on the efforts of speaker elect @hakeemjeffries to usher in a historic Democratic majority !
Hakeem Jeffries, the incoming Speaker of the House, took a pragmatic path to a political revolution. nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

Between the fake polls and paid petitions, online "leftists" on the internet are trying to rat-f*ck Democrats. They're manipulating algorithms + political discourse. And they're making money off it.

Does anyone else find it ironic that the “money out of politics” leftist folks are all complaining that Chuck Schumer didn’t give Angie Nixon enough ‘money’ and that’s why she lost?

CBC Senior Advisor to @CBCPAC Chris Taylor responds to a petition against Hakeem Jeffries’ speakership candidacy:
“Thanks to Leader Jeffries’ determination, we’ve just secured one of the biggest midterm victories in recent history despite unprecedented attacks on voting rights and an effort to rig the system for MAGA Republicans.
“We won’t be distracted by a few grifters running a pay-for-play scheme to divide our movement for the American people while they enrich themselves.”
Hauns retweeted
While the @DemSocialists were attacking mainstream Democrats, @RepJeffries was lining up candidates in red-to-bluedistricts that included ministers, combat veterans, farmers, prosecutors, and other centrists from blue-collar backgrounds.

I have known Chuck Schumer for 16 years. I worked closely with him and his staff when I worked for Harry Reid. I have a lot of respect for him and have also had my differences over the years.
The job of leader happens mostly behind the scenes. The traits that make a good leader are not the same as what makes you good at social media, etc. Reid was famous for saying off-message stuff—lord knows how he would have fared in the age of social media.
When you’re in the majority, the job is about setting the agenda and passing bills that help people. When you’re in the minority, you’re at the mercy of the majority in terms of the agenda, so the job is mainly to get back in the majority.
By that measure, Schumer succeeded wildly on Tuesday.
He oversaw the biggest Democratic sweep in the Senate since Watergate, recruiting candidates who fit their states and putting them in position to win states many had written off long ago. He was an early believer in Mississippi, for example.
You can litigate this or that decision, and I certainly didn’t agree with them all—but when you step back and look at the big picture there’s simply no way to argue with this historic achievement.
To me, the question of whether Schumer deserves to be reelected as leader after the most dominant performance by Senate Democrats in more than half a century is straightforward, and the answer is clearly yes.
