Jeffries Caves to Far-Left As Redistricting Fight Blows Up on Dems

replace retiring Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-N.Y.), said in an interview with Axios that “there would need to be some conversations.”

Some candidates who are against Jeffries have suggested other options. Anabel Mendoza, a progressive candidate in Illinois’ 7th District, told Axios that she wants Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) to be in charge because she is “10 toes down on what matters.”

Some candidates said that if Democrats don’t win the House, talks about Jeffries’ leadership will probably be completely different.

Also, the redistricting fight is now going very badly for Democrats.
