CBC pushes back on Slotkin’s call for ‘new leadership’ among Democrats
CBC lawmakers defended Hakeem Jeffries after Slotkin called for new leadership and said Democrats unable to adapt should step aside.
- On Friday, the Congressional Black Caucus expressed support for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in response to Senator Elissa Slotkin's call for "new leadership" in the Democratic Party.
- During a Wednesday appearance on SiriusXM's "Straight Shooter" podcast, Slotkin told host Stephen A. Smith the party needs "significant change," arguing that "the old models are no longer working."
- CBC members defended Jeffries, citing his leadership "with discipline, clarity, and results," while attacking Slotkin for voting to confirm Trump Cabinet member Kristi Noem, though the group inaccurately claimed she supported former Attorney General Pam Bondi.
- When asked about the remarks by CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Friday, Jeffries responded he had "no idea what Elissa Slotkin was talking about," focusing instead on taking back the House majority this November.
- A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found 62 percent of Democrats believe party leaders should be replaced, while 49 percent expressed dissatisfaction, mirroring earlier leadership disputes involving Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
