As we previously reported, in the aftermath of Republicans being projected to retake control of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made it official Thursday in declaring she would “not seek reelection to Democratic leadership in the next Congress.”
“For me, the hour’s come for a new generation to lead the Democratic Caucus that I so deeply respect and I’m so grateful that so many are ready and willing to shoulder this awesome responsibility,” Pelosi, who is 82, stated as reports swirled that she was paving the way behind the scenes for Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to be her successor.
Jeffries, who has been in Congress since 2013, is being portrayed by some in the media “as a capable operator inside the conference with sharp media skills to sell a Democratic message to the public,” though he may get pushback from “Squad” types in the House who reportedly have “labeled him a centrist.”
But what you won’t hear much about from the fawning press when it comes to Jeffries and the “historic” nature of his presumptive upcoming role as House Minority Leader is that he is – by the Democrats’ own very convenient definition – a threat to democracy. An election denier who routinely tries to delegitimize and undermine “our sacred institutions,” as Democrats have often referred to the courts and the democratic process:

Keep it up, Democrats. You’re telling Middle America who you really are.
Is this the guy who called himself Spartacus?
Cory Booker
He was such a jerk to Clarence Thomas.
Hopefully middle America is listening!
He is low. The Dem leaders are always low.
Sadly their voters accept it all.
Is Hakeem Jeffries a muslim?
This is news?
His staff is already measuring for velvet curtains in Nancy's old office.
Hock-keem is why Schiff attempted to organize an internal coup to become Minority Leader in the 118th GOP Congress earlier this year. Nancy was not pleased, so much so she had the Washington Post deliver the smackdown. I wonder how she feels about it now, now that Schiff has plotted his revenge on her by taking Feinstein's seat away from Chubs Pelosi or anyone Pelosi can anoit.
