    Yeah but how many will hold their vote against Jeffries? You count AOC out, can’t believe she even thinking of running for president. She has no spin and sadly not the squad she once was.

      To be fair, she is interviewed in OP, she does give an out that “there needs to be a race” as a practical matter to get to an alternative. She’s only saying that she has no option today.

        Doesn’t matter the choice is being made on the 18th and 19th and the new Congress that was elected will not be given a voice or vote who will be in leadership.
