Yeah I get it, that’s an important symbol. But is it really worth two more years of status quo leadership? Now, at the time when there’s both a means and a need for a bold push for progressive policy?
We’ve already had plenty of historic victories this election. And everyone who broke barriers isn’t focusing on their identity right now, they’re focusing on the work that needs to be done. Is Jeffries onboard with that, or is he only going to stand in the way? That’s the difference.
For what it’s worth, I’d support somebody like Wes Moore for the presidential primary in 2028. So let’s not make this about Jeffries’ identity. It’s about his policy, and his donors.
But yeah, if the speakership is already more or less set in stone, then I agree we need to focus on the battle we can win, and that’s the senate majority leader.
Jeffries hasn’t actually held the job yet. We are making assumptions about how he would lead. Assumptions based on some pretty good historical data, but assumptions nonetheless.
Schumer has already held the job (and lost it), so we have a better idea of what that would look like if we go there again.
