Hakeem Jeffries Is Not Old, and Chuck Schumer Is Not Done
Bill Scher argues in the Washington Monthly that Democrats shouldn't unseat Hakeem Jeffries, 56, on the cusp of becoming the first Black Speaker, or Chuck Schumer after their midterm landslide, rebutting a Saturday Night Live sketch where the two cackle about never passing the torch and a Change.org petition with over 1 million signatures, promoted by Mark Ruffalo, that lists no specific reasons. He also defends Schumer's midterm recruits against Jon Stewart's claim that Schumer "fought tooth and nail against half of these f—ing people."
