Fla. Dem Elijah Manley Says He Would Support Jeffries as Speaker, But He Needs to Listen to the ‘Majority of the Democratic Party’ Who Want Socialist Policies

TRANSCRIPT:

MANLEY: “You know, when I get to Congress in January, I will vote for Hakeem Jeffries to be the speaker. But make no mistake, Hakeem Jeffries needs to listen to the base of the party. The vast majority — the polls are showing that the vast majority of our party, they want Medicare for All. They want us to restrict aid to Israel. That’s what the people want. And so I’m listening to the people, and that’s why we’re seeing these victories across the country. Because people are tired of status quo politics, and Hakeem Jeffries needs to listen to the party.”
