This is something we’ve heard batted around before on social media: Republicans sweep the House in 2022 and make Donald Trump Speaker of the House. As unlikely as that is, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is putting out a warning to voters: don’t let the radical right win and make it happen.
The Constitution does not require the Speaker of the House to serve in Congress.
That’s why the radical right will try to install Donald Trump.
Another reason we can’t allow the cult to win the majority next year.

Someone sounds worried about 2022.
Thank you for the perfect encapsulation of Dems messaging problems going into midterms

The guy who runs the House Democrat Conference — the organization that leads messaging for House Democrats — wants to run on “vote for us because they could make Trump speaker.”
Incredible stuff here. https://t.co/NugqVrTgWE

Wow @HouseDemocrats really have no message for 2022 https://t.co/oZlcE8sxEB

They’re still running against Trump.
That’s your best argument to leave you clowns in the majority? How sad.

Maybe dems should stop sucking at governing if they don’t want to lose next year.

Overly dramatic much?

That’s the most desperate campaign messaging I’ve ever seen this far out from Election Day.

Maybe give us a reason to vote for Democrats rather than against Republicans. Maybe point to some recent accomplishments? Oh, right.
