    I wouldn’t object to ousting Jeffries, too, but if he’s given a couple of years during a lame-duck Congress to fail properly it wouldn’t be a catastrophe.

    It absolutely would be. This is going to be a lame duck Congress, but there are things the Democrats can do and they absolutely need to be doing them if they want to maintain even a fraction of this momentum come 2028. Jeffries would slow down whatever progress can be made (particularly on the accountability front) and tank Congress’s credibility with the electorate.

      Exactly. Jeffries loses us all 2028 to whatever shit the GOP dreams up next. In other words, same old shit, different year, this vote essentially means nothing.
