Democratic wins spark debate over party's next leaders

The Democrats won the battle for control of Congress, but now there is a battle within the party over who is going to lead both houses. At the center of the fight, Brooklyn's Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. As Jeffries seeks to become House Speaker, some incoming Democrats are ready to back him. I'm going to be supporting Leader Jeffries for Speaker. Others are still weighing their options. That's something I'm still weighing. The pushback... The petition extends online, where a petition calling for a different speaker has drawn more than a million signatures. But Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says the focus is on what leadership will deliver. There is a one candidate in this race, Hakeem Jeffries, and I think that everyone is far more concerned about... What that leadership means, what it is promising, what it seeks to deliver, what I think, and I think that's what we're hearing from a lot of folks. In the Senate, many, including Bernie Sanders, say they won't support Chuck Schumer to continue as Democratic leader, though he's known the senator for over 30 years. In my view, the time is now for change, and I will not be supporting Chuck. To be re-elected as the Democratic leader. The question, will those calls for change translate into enough votes to pick new leaders? House members will elect a speaker when the new Congress convenes in January. Senate Democrats choose their party leader separately. Natalie Hernandez, News 12.
