‘It’s Time For Change’ – Socialist Arizona Candidate Wants Jeffries Out
What was said
"No, I think we need to go in a different direction. Someone who's still taking money from Apac I think is a serious issue and someone who I think has been slow to really stand up to Trump's authoritarianism. We can't serve two masters. We can't be taking corporate pack money."
Kai Newkirk explicitly states he would not support Hakeem Jeffries continuing as Democratic leader, citing Jeffries' acceptance of AIPAC money and insufficient opposition to Trump. Newkirk calls for 'change at the leadership level' for both Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, arguing Democratic leaders cannot serve both the working class and the donor class simultaneously.
