## Key points

- The article backs Schumer and Jeffries staying in leadership.
- Several Democrats are challenging their leadership.
- It proposes poor assignments as a penalty for dissent.

## Summary

The article argues that Democratic lawmakers should keep Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries in leadership and punish members who challenge them. It says the leaders helped secure a major party victory and should focus on voters’ concerns rather than internal disputes.

The piece cites Schumer’s reported $30 million in support for Abdul El-Sayed’s Michigan campaign and his role in averting a government shutdown, alongside criticism from several Democrats who want new leadership. It also names two incoming representatives who oppose Jeffries over his positions on Israel, campaign finance and healthcare, and suggests denying dissenters desirable offices or committee assignments.
