Possibly the best early indication of how (if?) the US Democrats will use their power will be the decision who gets to be Speaker of the House and Leader of the Senate. If they keep #Jeffries and #Schumer respectively I hold very little hope.

@thisislieven@c.im I just don't see it happening, especially in the house. The problem is none of the new members will feel like they can run. You would need an existing member to challenge Jeffries and try to win over votes. I just don't see who that person would be. AOC maybe, but I think she has her sites set much higher. The Senate is somewhat easier as it is much smaller, but the existing members will likely side with Schumer.
