A Million Signatures Against Jeffries. Will It Change the Speaker Vote?

Описание: A Change.org petition urging House Democrats to choose someone other than Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker passed one million signatures, according to Common Dreams’ November 7 report.

Axios reported on November 6 that some House Democrats were receiving hundreds of calls opposing Jeffries, but no challenger had stepped forward and most House Democrats were expected to back him. Axios also noted that the petition’s organizer receives compensation through Change.org’s ambassador program.

Before the election, MS NOW reported that five DSA-backed candidates hadn’t committed to Jeffries. One said she needed to see his agenda. That report does not establish their post-election positions.

House Democratic leadership elections are November 18–19. The Speaker floor vote is January 3.
