@Yo_Ahki People have to want these job.

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

Next Wednesday, House Democrats will hold their internal leadership votes.

Here’s who is running for the top positions:

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

For the people asking why Lauren has a challenger, the answer is simple: they both want the job.

They have been running for it since September

Rep. Sara Jacobs of California and Rep. Lauren Underwood of Illinois are expected to seek the caucus vice chair post.

Ted Lieu, currently in this position, is reportedly not running for it in the next Congress if Democrats gain the majority.

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

@capitolhunters No way

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

A grown man running to camera to spread gossip and not name names is a bitch.

[Nicholas Wu @nicholaswu12]

Asked Rep. Kaptur, dean of the OH delegation: “I certainly didn’t hear that”
“We had a nice dinner the other night with all of our members. I think they were all there. We have eight, and I sat next to him, and I talked to him earlier in the day because I really didn't know him”

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

@Debqvq5h Deb stop you obesssion with aipac is weird and the meeting happen privately in politics thats not new. Kusher asked for the meeting they met and life went on.

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

@Fly_Sistah She is in leadership now along with Lauren. Good Rep. I am sure you have seen her before but may know her by face only

There were 7 outstanding Republican votes. Republicans would have kept the vote open until they beat us. We don't have enough votes to beat them if only one Republican votes with us.

And anyways, this was a PROCEDURAL vote to send the bill to a committee. If the vote failed, there would have been another vote THE NEXT DAY on the articles of impeachment. That vote would have failed too because we don't have a majority.

This was a stunt by Thomas Massie. We'll do it the right way when Dems take over.

Garcia: We are not going to be threatened or intimidated because we are demanding accountability and oversight. The truth is that he needs to understand that Congress is a co-equal branch of government.

This idea that President Trump or the White House counsel want to send threatening letters to myself… it’s not going to stop our important work.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Since May, tariff refunds have amounted to 113% of new tariff collections.

That's a net loss of $15 billion for the Treasury.

[Michael Jones @bymichaeljones]

Jasmine Crockett tells me she feels vindicated after she was criticized for her focus on supporting down-ballot candidates following her Senate primary loss to James Talarico:

“I know the demographics of my state. I know who’s voting, who’s not been voting. And frankly, every single thing that I said came to pass, even for the editorial boards that did not go into endorsements or lack thereof because of my platform, experience, but instead focused on the fact that my strategy was to do exactly what happened in Texas, which is that I wasn’t going to go after MAGA.

“And they said that you could never win that way. Well, guess what? Black and brown [people] showed up, and that is why Texas went blue.”

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

JEFFRIES on this letter:

“The White House has been used to a Republican Congress that's been nothing more than a reckless rubber stamp for Donald Trump's extreme agenda. A Democratic Congress is going to be a check and balance on an out-of-control executive branch in the face of unprecedented corruption that they've unleashed on the American people. And if they don't like it, consult the Constitution.”

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

@OldGenderQueer No Chuck need to be pushed to have a clear agenda and that is what is caucus is telling him.

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

Seems very few senators are willing to commit because senators do not know Chuck’s vision or if he is the right man for the job. Winging it won’t work this time, so I don’t blame them.

[Manu Raju @mkraju]

Dem Sen. Raphael Warnock non-commital on Schumer: “I think we're at an inflection point in our country. The voters are demanding that we stand up and fight for them and so any member of my caucus that feels like they should lead in this moment, I look forward to hearing their case,” he told me.

@tlarghblargh Delusional

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

House rules say a roll call vote lasts a minimum of 15 minutes.

In reality, the party holding the gavel controls when the vote actually ends and can hold it open for hours if needed.

Come January 3rd, Democrats will take control of the gavel and the clock.
