A screenshot from Axios that says -- Scoop: Jeffries faces growing threat of 2027 rebellion. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) could get caught in the undertow of the very blue wave he hopes to ride into power this November as a growing number of Democratic candidates tell Axios they can't commit to backing his leadership. Why it matters: It's a stark reversal from Jeffries' virtually untouchable standing in the Democratic Party just a few years ago — and a sign that his path to the speakership may be rockier than previously thought.

The predictors of a blue wave have much more to do with how awful this administration is, and how badly people are suffering, not with how effective Dem leadership is.
