I feel like part of it, not being said, is that the rising stars might have future plans which don’t involve the House. AOC is already being floated to run for Senate or President in 2028. You might have a problem right now where the rising stars in the House may not want to put forth the effort to rise up House leadership positions because they see other positions opening up soon.
You’re right. Basically Democratic voters are asking for someone in the party to take one for the team in ousting Jeffries, itself an uphill battle but also even if they are successful, stymies their chance of advancing to the Senate or Presidential cabinet, or even some House positions for several years. And if they fail, they risk internal consequences of being labelled an outsider or splinter-party rebel. Not an easy thing for any of them to simply stick up their hand and volunteer for.
