A petition calling on House Democrats not to support House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as the next Speaker has hit 500,000 signatures, according to its creator.
It follows the Democratsā dramatic midterm election victory that saw the party flip both the Senate and the House of Representatives, which will lead to a new Senate Majority Leader and Speaker of the House.
The petition, which labels Jeffries part of the āDemocratic establishment,ā suggests Democratic leaders are likely to remain under pressure from their partyās left-wing over both personal and policy choices. It was created by Nicole Whitted, an author and Democratic supporting social media creator with over 210,000 followers on TikTok.

This really should be the nail in the coffin for them. Even if you donāt think theyāre corrupt factional warriors whose purpose is to stymie change, theyāve been in their positions forever and had no real successes to show for it.
At least Pelosi had the myth that she was a great vote counter and could wrangle representatives well. These two assholes are just incompetent losers.
