On November 18, House Democrats will meet behind closed doors to choose their leader, and on January 3 the full House votes for Speaker. Hakeem Jeffries is running, and nobody has announced a challenge against him. If he wins, he will control which bills reach the House floor and decide whether Americans ever get a warrant requirement before the government searches their calls, texts and emails.
He is also deeply unpopular, and for good reason. A Civiqs survey taken through Election Day found that only 23 percent of voters see him favorably. A petition asking House Democrats to pick someone else passed one million signatures on November 7, and a group of incoming progressives still won’t commit their votes. Much of the anger is about AIPAC, and the number being passed around to prove it, $49,565, leaves out most of what AIPAC actually sent him.
