More than a dozen House Democrats - including Jeffries' top two lieutenants - had called for Kiggans to resign as of Tuesday afternoon, with others vowing to unseat her in November either way. Kiggans said in a post on X: "The radio host should not have used that language and I do not -and did not - condone it. It was obvious to anyone listening that I was agreeing Hakeem Jefferies [sic] should stay out of Virginia."

Saikat Chakrabarti, the 40-year-old centimillionaire and former tech engineer, has been doing his utmost to gain some name recognition in San Francisco, seen as a longshot challenger to Nancy Pelosi.

But they both qualified their statements by saying that this prohibition isn't sweeping.

The Democrats are out of power at every level of government... If we sit around and do nothing...we're not gonna win ever again. This is the time to win.

The Democrats have shown cowardice in opposing the Trump administration, surrendering power and failing to address the needs of the American people effectively.

Clyburn stated, "What do you want me to give up my life?" highlighting the emotional weight of retirement among long-serving Democratic leaders.
