“If the Democrats gain control of the House, it's not clear that Hakeem Jeffries, who will be the Speaker of the House, is going to be able to control his caucus completely if he's got a few members who are members of the Democratic Socialists. And then he's got AOC, who is a kind of power base unto herself. And so it won't be easy to be the Speaker of the House if your Democrats are in control, for sure.”

I've been surprised at how much success it's had. but remember, we've had a small turnout in some of these elections that have occurred. I think the turnout for some of the primaries was 7% or so. In the United States, in a presidential election, you typically will have 65% of eligible voters voting. If you've got only 7%, you're probably going to have a different outcome than you would have if more people voted. But there's no doubt that the Democrats have to deal with this issue because if the Democrats gain control of the House, it's not clear that Hakeem Jeffries, who will be the Speaker of the House, is going to be able to control his caucus completely if he's got a few members who are members of the Democratic Socialists. And then he's got AOC, who is a kind of power base unto herself. And so it won't be easy to be the Speaker of the House if your Democrats are in control, for sure.
