"They're gonna get rid of him next. First, it was Schumer. They're not happy with Jeffries as well. They don't like his alignment with AIPAC, as well. They have been very critical of how he does things. Jones added, They really don't respect him. They took all their guidance from Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi kind of protected him. But now that she is retiring, I believe he is gonna be the next target."
"Criticism of Schumer has hit a fever pitch in the last several weeks, as the Senate minority leader tried to navigate the Democrats through the historic 43-day shutdown. In the end, Schumer lost seven Democratic colleagues and an Independent who crossed party lines to vote with Republicans on a continuing resolution earlier this week. As a result, some Dems, like progressive California Congressman Ro Khanna, called for Schumer's removal. Schumer's leadership has yet to receive any kind of official challenge among Senate Democrats."
Calls for leadership changes have intensified after a historic 43-day government shutdown. The Senate minority leader lost seven Democratic colleagues and an Independent who crossed party lines to vote with Republicans on a continuing resolution. Progressive Congressman Ro Khanna called for the Senate leader's removal. Some House Democrats face criticism over alignment with AIPAC and perceived deference to former leadership guidance. Nancy Pelosi's retirement is seen as removing protective influence for certain party figures. Speculation about targeting the House Democratic leader centers on dissatisfaction with his alignment and leadership style. No official Senate challenge has been filed.
