One of the lines in the op-ed that got a little buzz was that people running in 26 should call for new leadership and say that if elected, they won't support the current crop.

I think my point is like in this day and age, you know, party leaders have a job to do, which is, you know, in part the behind the scenes, keeping the coalition together, which Jeffries has been good at.

Right.

But then there's also the projecting a brand out to the country.

And I don't think that anybody thinks that Ken Martin, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have been particularly good at that part of it.

And so if they're going to stay in leadership, they should probably figure out somebody that's better at being the front person.
