The fact that @ChrisVanHollen has credibility with the left and with the mainstream of the Dem party is exactly why he's a great fit for leadership. None of us have forgotten how he fought for Kilmar Abrego Garcia when it wasn't safe or popular and worked to expose war crimes against Palestinians. He's also been a leading voice against the atrocities in Sudan. In other words he's showed actual character and leadership. Exactly what's needed.
⭕️ It would take just ~43 House Democrats to keep Hakeem Jeffries from becoming speaker. The Congressional Progressive Caucus alone expects more than 100 members in January.
🔹Its chair, Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), co-sponsored Rep. Rashida Tlaib's November 2025 resolution "recognizing the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza." Now he says he expects to "deliver the votes" for Jeffries. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), another co-sponsor, told MS NOW on Monday that Jeffries will have the caucus's unanimous support, calling his expected rise a "pretty historic moment." In all, 22 House Democrats backed the genocide resolution and well over 40 have described Israel’s actions as genocide.
🔹Jeffries has been one of the strongest supporters of Israel’s military response in Gaza. He opposed a July bid to cut off US military aid to Israel, saying it would "restrict our country's ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the region." His promised "reset" wouldn't touch aid until the current 10-year deal expires in 2028.
🔹The math: Speaker needs 218 votes cast for a person by name on Jan 3, 2027. With roughly 260 Democrats, if 43 commit to naming someone else and every Republican votes against Jeffries, he falls short.
🔹It's been done before. In January 2023, about 20 Republicans withheld their votes from Rep. Kevin McCarthy through 15 rounds of voting. He won only after major concessions, including a rule letting any single member force a vote to remove the speaker, which Rep. Matt Gaetz used to oust him nine months later.
🔗 Drop Site's Julian Andreone asked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), another co-sponsor of the genocide resolution who backs Jeffries, whether progressives could use that kind of leverage.
Kyle Kulinski: “Every Democrat who won in the Senate across the country should send a f-ing bunch of flowers and a fruit basket over to Abdul El-Sayed. Why is that? Because Abdul El-Sayed took ALL of the slings and arrows that protected other Democratic candidates throughout the country.”
Let's show Don some love. Donate to him so he doesn't need Hakeem to win re-election. Give him the support so he can be truly independent and vote the way his district wants.

Damn. Looks like forcing the vote is actually a thing.
Note that when it only would’ve taken about 6 votes to hold the speaker hostage in 2021, Ryan argued against it.

Multiple sources, Democratic and Republican strategists, tell @swin24 that Nixon and Jolly would have won if the Democrats invested in FL.
"All of them agreed – left or right – that Dems would have won in Florida, had the national powers-that-be put in more money and effort."
