An incoming member of Congress said senior House Democrats have vowed to make his life “a living hell” and oust him in 2028 if he does not support Rep. Hakeem Jeffries’ speaker bid.

Rep.-elect Don Leonard (D-Ohio) said in a social media post that the senior members told him to vote for Jeffries regardless of whether the Democratic leader commits to addressing key issues, including a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision and ending U.S. support for Israel and the war in Iran.

This is such a piss poor tactic. They must know they already have the votes to get the lackeys elected. The real test is when they are offered huge sums of money and future income. That is when you will see individual congressmen/congresswomen turn on their constituents.
