Progressive Democrats are pushing to replace Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, despite the party's recent election victories.
A petition opposing Jeffries' bid to become House Speaker has reportedly surpassed one million signatures. Democratic lawmakers have also received hundreds of calls urging them not to support him.
Both leaders face criticism over their support for Israel and ties to pro-Israel political groups, including AIPAC. Progressive activists argue that their positions do not reflect the party's changing priorities.
Despite the growing pressure, neither leader has been removed, and it remains unclear whether opponents have enough support in Congress to force a leadership change.
