Progressive activists aim to block Jeffries, Schumer from leading Democrats
Alexei Koseff and Theodoric Meyer report in The Washington Post that progressive activists aim to block Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries from continuing to lead Democrats after the party won commanding majorities in the midterms. A Post summary of reader comments says many readers express dissatisfaction with Schumer, citing his age and ties to pro-Israel interests.
