I think I read that it will be next week, so there's not much time. [edit: I also just heard on a podcast that they won't vote until January, so ... I would like to get a clearer answer on this too!] The problem is no one has said they would run against him. Of course why would they have when the Establishment have all decreed that he's The One since well before the election.

But that was before the Blue wave and all these new members coming in. The times have changed and, the terms have changed, but the Establishment hasn't realized that yet--but they're about to Find Out. I'll just say that even if Jeffries does still get it this session, he'll have a LOT of pressure on him to perform and go along with what progressives want because now they have a lot more power than before, and they'll have time to get someone else ready to run against him next session. And since he's basically a capitulator I have some confidence the progressive wing will be able to get his cooperation on a lot of stuff. But we'll see.

Meanwhile I'm a lot more confident about Schumer getting ousted than I was a couple days ago. 🤞
