LEMON DROP | A Sad Loss and a Missed Opportunity
Summary
We are deeply saddened to share that Congressman Gerry Connolly has resigned as Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, citing his ongoing battle with esophageal cancer. Congressman Connolly has been a dedicated public servant throughout his career, and we send him and his family strength and support during this difficult time.
But as Don warned back in December, the Democratic Party missed an important opportunity. Instead of selecting a younger, more dynamic leader like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, they stuck with the "safe" choice, and now find themselves scrambling for new leadership at a critical moment.
Join Don as he revisits the warning he gave months ago, and breaks down what this moment means for the future of Democratic leadership, and why bold choices matter.
