Movement to Replace Schumer and Jeffries Gains Serious Momentum

The longshot bid to oust Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer from Democratic leadership is starting to gain serious momentum. A viral petition urging Democrats to pick someone other than Jeffries has surpassed one million signatures and is starting to garner attention from mainstream media outlets. Additionally, Axios reports that House Democrats have been inundated with calls from constituents urging them to not support Jeffries. Things are going even worse for Schumer, with a growing number of Democratic senators vowing to oppose his leadership. But Schumer got the worst news yet on Monday morning when Politico reported that progressive Chris Van Hollen was considering running against him for leadership. In this video we’ll talk about the movements to replace both leaders and whether or not they can succeed.
