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.

I'm just assuming the Dems don't do jack shit except sham hearings for the next two years until they prove otherwise. It would not surprise me at all if Jeffries and Schumer get picked to lead.
