Fox & Friends Host Lawrence Jones Predicts Hakeem Jeffries Is Out — After Dems Ax Chuck Schumer

As lawmakers on both sides of the aisle call Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) leadership into question, Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones offered a prediction about who might be the next Democratic domino to fall.

As the curvy couch tackled the latest in the government shutdown saga on Thursday, Jones provided a strong argument that Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the House’s Democratic leader, would follow Schumer out the door.

“So, quick prediction: Jeffries is next,” Jones told co-hosts Brian Kilmeade and Ainsley Earhardt. “They’re gonna get rid of him next. First, it was Schumer. They’re not happy with Jeffries as well. They don’t like his alignment with AIPAC, as well. They have been very critical of how he does things.”

Jones added, “They really don’t respect him. They took all their guidance from Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi kind of protected him. But now that she is retiring, I believe he is gonna be the next target.”

Criticism of Schumer has hit a fever pitch in the last several weeks, as the Senate minority leader tried to navigate the Democrats through the historic 43-day shutdown.

In the end, Schumer lost seven Democratic colleagues — and an Independent — who crossed party lines to vote with Republicans on a continuing resolution earlier this week.

As a result, some Dems, like progressive California Congressman Ro Khanna, called for Schumer’s removal. Schumer’s leadership has yet to receive any kind of official challenge among Senate Democrats.
