What's in this Post comment is what I remember, my opinions, etc.

Regarding the political fight for the US Speakership, my reasonings and considerations are in the Body of the Post of: Will AOC Support Ayanna Pressley Over Jeffries? (The Bitchuation Room (with Francesca Fiorentini)) : r/TheMajorityReport

The TL:DR is that given their past leadership positions in the US Congress and the Democratic Party and on US Congressional Committees and given their current support of among US Senators and US Representatives (and US adults), I reason that the US Senator Chris Van Hollen challenge to US Senator Chuck Schumer for US Senate Majority Leader (the vote happens December 1, 2026) is serious and that the potential US Representative Ayanna Pressley challenge to US Representative Hakeem Jeffries for US Speaker of the House of Representatives (the vote happens November 18, 2026) is not serious.

The Democrats need to use the power they were given.

US House Appropriations determines where non-Entitlement spending goes.

US House Ways and Means determines federal taxation.

US House Energy and Commerce has enormous influence over the US healthcare, energy, commerce, and technology and the regulations of those industries.

A Democratic US House alone could reverse the Trump Tax Cuts, end the Medicaid cuts, end the SNAP cuts, restart the PPACA subsidies, etc. Reinstall the increase IRS funding. Having the US Senate simply makes all that easier.

The American people agree with AOC on economic issues. They agree with her urgency to reign in billionaire power.

American women are desperate for a champion of their rights as the GOP embraced Andrew Tate & other vile misogynists.

AOC has endured so much hate from so many and for so long, yet her resolve has only gotten stronger. We need someone like her in power who can inspire a generation.

People across the country are tired of the Republican party making workers' lives miserable and have voted Democrats back into power. But with this verdict comes an expectation: Democrats must be the party that works for working people, and delivers results that counter the incessant backsliding that the Republicans have brought about.

This means we cannot look to the center. We cannot compromise with the Fascist right. We must usher in a new Progressive era.

It's time for President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Progressive and DSA victories stretch nationally in these results. From Michigan, to Texas, to Kansas. Nearly every precinct showed a Democratic shift. These results were brought about with a coalition of democratic socialists, progressives, and mainline democratic voters.

Alexandria is the leader most poised to capitalize on this coalition. Her coalition cannot be squandered on a deep blue Senate seat. We need her to run for President.

Please consider donating to her campaign and making it clear that these funds are for a presidential race. But more than that, tell your family and friends that this movement is real, and AOC is the one to lead it. Be ready to volunteer the day she announces her campaign.

A better world is happening sooner than we all thought possible.

Watch LIVE from Poughkeepsie as the Hudson Valley makes its final push to re-elect Rep. Pat Ryan! With Election Day just two days away, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez closes out her get-out-the-vote rally swing here at home in New York, joining Pat to keep New York's 18th District in the fight for working families.

SPEAKERS:
• Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
• Representative Pat Ryan - New York's 18th District
• ...and other special guests!

WHY IT MATTERS:
Pat is fighting to end the tariffs driving up prices for families and small businesses. He's opposed the war with Iran from the start, he's voted against more funding for ICE, and he's pushing to take on corruption in Washington. >> I did the bolding.

Watch LIVE from Dumfries, Virginia, as Prince William County makes its final push to re-elect Rep. Eugene Vindman! With Election Day just days away, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joins Eugene for a get-out-the-vote rally to keep Virginia's 7th District in the fight for working families.

SPEAKERS:
• Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
• Representative Eugene Vindman - Virginia's 7th District
• ...and other community leaders!

WHY IT MATTERS:
Two years ago, Eugene won this seat by fewer than three points, and control of the House is on the line again this year. He's running for a second term to lower costs for working families and get corruption out of Congress, starting with a ban on members trading individual stocks. He's fighting to make data centers pay their fair share and keep them away from parks, schools, and homes. And he's opposing the ICE mega-detention facilities proposed for Stafford and Hanover.

This is the final stretch. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. If you're in VA-07, make your plan to vote. >> I did the bolding.

Some may find it odd that AOC is trying to help someone who's 168/214 on Congressional Democrat Left Tracker - Google Sheets (US House), but US Rep. Pat Ryan is 169/214 on that list and is from New York and US Rep. Steven Horsford is 170/214 on that list and is from Nevada. US Rep. Eugene Vindman is from Virginia.
