Democrats have a problem, and his name is Hakeem Jeffries.
The House Minority Leader, who supposedly represents the future of the Democratic Party, is facing a rebellion from within his own ranks that would make even Nancy Pelosi raise an eyebrow.
According to an Axios survey of 113 Democratic incumbents and challengers in competitive House races, only 24 candidates are fully committed to backing Jeffries for another term. That's right: Fewer than a quarter of Democrats running in winnable races are willing to go all-in on their current leader.
The numbers tell a brutal story. Twenty respondents flat-out said they won't support Jeffries as speaker or minority leader, with five more leaning toward opposing him. The majority, 57 candidates, basically threw their hands up and said it's too early to commit, citing everything from ideological differences to concerns about his leadership style, messaging, and strategic decisions. When more than half your caucus won't even pretend to support you, that's not a leadership crisis waiting to happen — that's a leadership crisis already happening.
The timing couldn't be worse for Jeffries. The Schumer Shutdown just entered its third week, polls are turning against the Democrats, and instead of rallying around their leader, Democrats seem ready for an alternative.
This revolt isn't happening in a vacuum, either. Chuck Schumer is facing a potential primary challenge from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, proving that Democratic leadership problems extend beyond the House. The radical left wing of the party smells blood in the water, and they're circling.

“The House Minority Leader, who supposedly represents the future of the Democratic Party, is facing a rebellion from within his own ranks that would make even Nancy Pelosi raise an eyebrow.”
Madam Speaker Emeritus has had so much Botox that if she tried to raise an eyebrow her face would break.
The Democrats are revolting!
Obviously anyone who challenges Hakeem is a racist.
Rats only move one way....Left.
Expect someone even worse.
The article says there are 113 competitive races.
They must have an absurdly loose definition of competitive.
AI: In 2024, 19 races were determined by < 3%
It’s Hakeem hisself that’s revolting!
Well, ok, ALL the DemonRats are revolting.
Hakeem is Low Info. Like a type of Le’mon... Low Info. AOC Low Info.
I’ve always said that politicians need to take at least a SAT test before eligibility is granted.
That said... in a perfect Republic only Property owners should be eligible to vote.
One addition, only property owning CITIZENS.
You’re telling me, they stink on ice!
You may be a racist for even pointing that out....
/sarc
One more facelift and Nancy will have a goatee
I haven’t read the full article, but I’m guessing it’s because he’s not bat-s*it crazy leftist enough.
Ewww. Not enough mind bleach in the universe for that one 🤮
Newsmax host Greg Kelly does a great feature where he plays and narrates interruptions of the evil Dems’ speeches from the past week.
For Hakeem Jeffries he says “No, just look me in the eye.” “No, you did it again with the shifty eyes.” “No, back here, not side to side and stop moving those hands.”
Funny——and accurate.
Ha. True.
From the Life of Riley, William A. Bendix:
“What a revoltin’ development this is.”
Democratic Party chaos with TDS and a lot of hate what could go bad.
If "revolting" is an adjective, then right you are!
Maybe AOC would rather try for Speaker of the House than being the junior Senator from New York.
