Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, had the lowest approval at 21 percent, but fewer voters disapproved of him at 46 percent.

    If Jeffries or Schumer gets put in power then we know that America is truly not a republic. And the jokes the citizens once again.

      Unfortunately internal votes are not democratic. Jeffries has a lot of power in the caucus. The votes are secret so they can not be subject to backlash or bullying. That also means we can’t hold them accountable for how they vote.

      Not really, the speaker is an internal election. But the people running for Congress weren’t campaigning on who to vote for speaker. You’re also arguing that but you’re just assuming the majority doesn’t want them as leadership. That’s not how any of this works.
