So this is interesting to me. Because, primarily, Jefferies doesnʻt have the leverage to discipline like Pelosi did against the OG squad.
AOC occupying Pelosiʻs office was a big deal. And AOC, I think, believes it did real damage to her. Although i donʻt agree with her, its very clear sheʻs moderated since with regards to bucking the party. Pelosi was a generational force in the house. Jefferies simply doesnʻt have that gravitas.
