Driving the news: Asked at a press conference if it is time for new leadership in the Senate, Jeffries quickly responded, “Next question.”
Asked if he has lost confidence in Schumer, Jeffries again replied: “Next question.”
Pressed further, Jeffries said he looks “forward to reporting back to all of you when I’ve had conversations” in his district over the weekend.

Jeffries is a master at sidestepping questions and offering noncommittal answers. I watched his interview with Jon Stewart, where he sidestepped for a solid hour. He and Schumer are truly an inspiring pair.
