Hakeem Jeffries on Rachel Maddow - Swing and Miss .

42. I agree. Jeffries has not risen to the occasion.

And things are not going to be better. We need the leaders that match the moment.

Raskin brings an incredible intellect and love of the Consitution, and fight. I think Dan Goldman has a similar legal background and strong fighter style, but he is still one of the newer members. Keep him and Crockett, and Maxwell Frost, and AOC doing the communicating and standing up to the BS from the other side.

I would love to see Sheldon Whitehouse leading the way in the Senate - he is smart and intellectually organized and reasoned. He has had the idea of a "War Room" to address the current state of things. He wanted to do it before, but Biden discouraged it. It would have been great if it had been in place on inauguration day, with the ability to hit the ground running.

Chris Murphy is bringing energy and voice to the fight - that is where he belongs. Elizabeth Warren, Chris Van Hollen, Cory Booker bring a strong voice.
