16 committee chairs are chosen every congress. The Republican caucus leaders choose theirs. The democratic caucus elects theirs, with the Dem leader playing a large role in aligning per senority. This year, Jeffries has decided to stay out of it giving the opportunity for younger congresspeople to take additional responsibilities. So essentially there is an internal campaign going on right now and the caucus will vote later. It has nothing to do with the election for the representative in the first place.
Two separate things. But whatever the case you have to be a member of the caucus in order to vote for committee chair and that means you already won your district.
How are you so consistently on the wrong side of every issue? Are you like a staffer for a conservative Democrat or something?
No. Just a realist in an unreal world.
If you’re a realist then you would know every chair in the House of Representatives is up for grabs every 2 years.
Tis true. But, I was talking about committee chairs
Every Chair.

I didn’t say it did. But that happens every 2 years for sure. Nobody is guaranteed their seat, in their district or their committee.

And neither is guaranteed. It’s really a very simple concept. I’m not sure what you’re having trouble with.
Some Dems are so cynical they do things they don’t believe in because they believe it works.
You can say that about a lot of people, not only dems. It’s like saying all repubs move like a herd while doing and saying what they think is popular
We can say a lot of people are cynical like that, but we can also say even more people are turned off by that cynicism.
