ScreenshotSen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) suggested this week that the Democratic Party may need a new generation of leadership, indicating it could be time for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to step aside as Democrats continue to grapple with internal divisions and setbacks following recent elections.In a stunning admission on SiriusXM’s “Straight Shooter with Stephen A” on Thursday, Slotkin made it clear the Democrat Party is in total disarray more than a year and a half after President Trump’s crushing 2024 victory.“That’s why I believe we need significant new leadership. The old models are no longer working, and that includes the Democratic Party,” Slotkin declared.She didn’t stop there.Slotkin described her party as a “circular firing squad” where everyone is reacting to crisis but few are offering any real vision. “To me, that’s a fundamental failure of leadership,” she said.When pressed on whether Schumer and Jeffries should step aside, she didn’t mince words: “If people can’t understand that the game has fundamentally changed, and they can’t adapt, then they need to let others lead.”Slotkin even admitted the obvious truth that President Trump won because he kept his message simple and focused on what Americans actually care about, making life more affordable and putting more money in their pockets, while Democrats tried to be everything to everyone and stood for nothing.WATCH:Y’ALL I THOUGHT THIS WAS FAKE SHE ACTUALLY SAID IT.

The NRCC even sent flowers and a condolence card to Jeffries with the message: “Three losses in one night is tough.”The socialist surge is real, and it’s accelerating.The post Democrat Sen.
