Are Chuck Schumer and Hakim Jeffries the leaders in Congress that we need to meet this last gasp of a dying regime
That is certainly the question of the hour. There is lots of talk about Schumer needing to pass the baton. Less so for Hakeem, and we really don't know much about how competent Hakeem is at wrangling votes as Speaker since he has never been one before. There's also the "first black Speaker" thing which is compelling for many, and he was after all, Pelosi's choice.
Schumer on the other hand is just too old school and, frankly, just too old and out of touch.
I'm willing to grant Hakeem a year to demonstrate his abilities. Schumer should step away now, but I doubt he will.
