Jive Democratic News Today

The front of ait all. do i think well stop hearing from nancy pelosi? probably not, and i think if she really wanted to take a step back fully and leave congress, she simply would have done that, but i think this to me felt like a compromise position and frankly there are so many democrats who two years ago and four years ago were eager to push pelosi out. those same democrats today, they want generational change, but they respect her. theyve seen what shes done, and i think that they value what...

That someday i would go from homemaker to house speaker. in fact, i never -- [ applause ] and with great confidence in our caucus, i will not seek re-election to democratic leadership in the next congress. for me, the hours come to your generation to lead the caucus that i so deeply respect. >> pelosi has spent two decades at the top of her party helping to pass major legislation that impacts all of us. >> it spans from obamacare to the fair pay act to the american rescue plan to the bipartisan ...

That -- what do you think that says about those big issues and that a democrat won? >> reporter: yeah. i think that that is so fascinating that this mayors race really seemed to revolve around whether the city wanted to kind of stick with a kind of long tradition of democratic leadership and also the crime issue being used against democrat if you will establishment figures. i think you could characterize karen bass in that way. it just didnt work, and its -- if it were an outlier, i would say it...

♪ the only thing i regret about my life was hiring local talent. if i knew about upwork. i would have hired actually talented people from all over the world. instead of talentless people from all over my house. the eat fresh® refresh just wont stop! now, subway® is refreshing their catering with easy-order platters and lunchboxes perfect for any party. pool parties... tailgates... holiday parties... even retirement parties. man, i love parties.

Brand-new next generation of talent to come up within the democratic party and lead them, and you mentioned hoyer also not running. jim clyburn will likely step aside. this is quite a sea change in terms of democratic leadership. some 20 years shes been the head of house democrats. for some of these members, thats certainly all theyve ever known. even those who have been here a pretty long time, and she talked about just how much has changed while shes been in that position. listen. [ applause ]...

Understand what happened -- what happened with the withdrawal out of afghanistan and what we can do better next time, but if its a political circus to try to smear the president, that doesnt solve any answers. thats what we saw with benghazi, you know? we understood there were mishaps at benghazi and we took steps to protect our service officers, ambassadors, et cetera. if we want to do that, yeah. thats perfectly acceptable. if this is all political and showmanship, thats a circus. >> so you en...

Minority leader? >> 100%. i think he will be a strong and unifying leader. i have said that publicly for a long time if this time came. hes the person for the job. >> lets talk about your effort to join leadership as head of the dccc. you led the front line program to get some vulnerable democrats re-elected. theyre in competitive districts certainly. your win rate here, 34 wins, 4 losses, katie porters race still not called yet. you are running for democratic congressional campaign committee to...

Affecting the georgia senate runoff. incumbent senator rafphael warnock has issued a new ad. >> how are they using trump announcement? >> well, victor, with less than three weeks to go, the warnock campaign has released a new appeal for campaign cash and trying to use donald trumps presidential announcement speech on tuesday night to really energize the democratic voters and the small donors. take a listen to what the ad says. >> herschel walker, and get out to vote for herschel, because he dese...

Are limitations to how that argument can work. theres no more well-worn tool in politics than fear mongering around crime, and it was utilized really to a great degree by republicans in this last midterm election cycle. i think it was perhaps the second most they spent on that issue more than anything else other than economy and inflation, but it didnt have the legs they thought it did. it shows there has to be more to the message than things are really terrible and you need to kick the democrat...
