Thank You Nancy for your sweetness, Boldness, and Toughness through word. Also thank you for your successor in this moment we need street fighters those who don’t minced words.

Fetterman should throw his hat into the ring....it's not what he says but what he means! You can't lose with that logic!

I just hope he works together with the entire Democratic Party. I personally feel that the younger and the more knowledgeable can learn from one another I love them to balance one another strengths. There is nobody that can replace Nancy's experience (male or female) and he doesn't have to try to prove other wise. Also, the progressives, definitely need to show respect, because they wouldn't be there (especial women and people of color). We will see, because we know a few can open their mouth without thinking at times in my opinion. I am venting because I just heard one female commenting. Please pardon any typographical and grammataical errors.

No.. do not allow Hakeem Jeffries to lead. The last thing we need is another Corporate Lawyer taking the spot of power. He has no real accomplishments other than writing a bill to build a statue, and supporting a slain officer. This is not enough to be the leader of the Democratic House of Representative, and I do not approve of his bid for leadership.

slipping too hard on the "pretend voting matters" motif.

I'm not too thrilled to see Wayne Brady run for house minority need a pit bull. The only thing that excites me, he's a man who I hope will fire back and not take shit off of the GOP, but he will....all democrats are weak.

Who gives a hoot about his color! How qualified is he..?!

[davidnierzwick]

Criminal...is he still dating that Hollywood actress?

[amberanderson]

This guy will destroy Desantis in 2024 if he runs for president. i have a feeling he might run. he totally should.

[mickd]

Fetterman gives the green light for all the Dems to out dumb one another.
