Is there any talk of who would take over for Nancy Pelosi? Is there anyone running against her for the leadership of the House?

Always someone running against her and always they lose.
She is the ATM of fundraising.

There is talk of Hakeem Jeffries, but I think he says he's not interested.

She has never had any serious opponent because everyone knows that "if you take a shot at the queen, you better not miss."

ETA: Yochi Donn is a gaslighting "activist" who will have done more harm than good for the Jewish communities at the end of the day. Personal opinion.

What about for VP when Kamala takes over?

A chutzpah a Shanda, how can some Jews not recognize Biden, you'd think the fight is over and states have already certified

Be that as it may, but what would the reaction have been from someone on Team Trump tweeting that?

My personal opinion is the exact opposite. I know him vaguely (never met him, but we have corresponded) I consider him a top-notch, very responsible frum journalist.

I honestly don't know. I don't think it would have gotten any coverage. They guy works for Biden. What do you expect him to do? Not call out people who may be opposed to his boss?

This is another case of perceived bias where there is none. You think he didn't know about the letters from the OU and Agudah? How can someone who is so deeply entrenched in the Frum press publicly decide that he must be talking about Orthodox Jews?

I don't know him and I've never met him. All I've seen from him are his tweets. If he was Black, we'd be collectively rolling our eyes at his idea of bias.

People who haven't acknowledged Biden as the winner. I'd guess ZOA and the like. I don't know. I haven't been following who under the wide umbrella of "Jewish community" took the time to congratulate Joe. But it's definitely not "THE Orthodox community."

Oh, and when you say things like "the Orthodox community," as if we are a monolith, you can't complain when politicians do the same thing.

His tweets take a very different tone than his writings in Mishpacha.
