Jon Stewart calls on senior Democrats including Chuck Schumer to step aside after Democratic election wins
Following Democratic victories in Tuesday's midterm elections, Jon Stewart said on his podcast that senior Democratic leadership, including Chuck Schumer, should leave Congress and that the party's seniority system should be removed. Stewart argued Democrats should focus on governing rather than impeachment. Actor Mark Ruffalo promoted a petition to remove Hakeem Jeffries as House Democratic leader, which had over 800,000 signatures.
