Analysis of Democratic Leadership Dynamics

Or than chuck in that 2028 narrative? I think so, except for the idea and it hasn't happened yet. But if you had another member of Congress who could better unite all of the different factions, I think that, I mean, I had. Well, David, you're from Colorado. Jonah Goose is very well liked among his colleagues. Kind of a progressive Democrat from Colorad. Has anybody been.
