Jeffries Ghosts Pelosi, ‘The Queen of Capitol Gains,’ Lefty Hit Piece Targets Fetterman

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the surprising friction between House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a New Jersey Democrat’s eyebrow-raising success in the stock market since arriving in Congress, and a disingenuous left-wing media attack on Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman.

Jim and Greg begin with new details surrounding National Security Adviser Mike Waltz’s departure before thoroughly enjoying the growing divide between Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi. Jeffries is reportedly distancing himself and no longer seeking Pelosi’s counsel. This story has many delicious layers, but it clearly highlights a Democratic party that's still not sure where it's going.

Next, they dig into the Washington Free Beacon’s investigation of New Jersey Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s improbable financial gains since joining Congress. Jim emphasizes how these stories deepen public distrust in government, while Greg notes the media’s pattern of downplaying financial controversies involving Democrats, from Whitewater to campaign fundraising scandals.

Finally, they tackle New York magazine’s hit piece on Sen. John Fetterman, which raises questions about his health and personal life. Jim points out that these same outlets once claimed Fetterman was fit to serve shortly after suffering a major stroke and argues that the real reason for the shift is Fetterman’s willingness to buck his party on a tiny number of issues.
