Summary

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack some House Democrats blaming their leader for GOP election wins, local Pennsylvania Democrats disregarding court orders to aid Sen. Bob Casey, and Donald Trump choosing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Services.

First, Jim and Greg enjoy the fireworks as some House progressives accuse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of causing Republican victories by failing to convince President Biden to step aside sooner. The lefties further lament that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to push Biden out of the race. Jim and Greg dissect why this narrative is far-fetched but relish watching Democrats openly battle over election blame.

Next, they express disbelief as local Democrats in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, flagrantly defy a state Supreme Court order prohibiting the counting of certain invalid ballots. One commissioner even declared on camera that legal precedent no longer matters. Jim and Greg expose the hypocrisy of Democrats claiming to be defenders of democracy while blatantly ignoring the rule of law.

Finally, they analyze President-Elect Trump’s decision to nominate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. While Kennedy could champion important reforms, they raise concerns over his pro-abortion stance, his potential priorities, and even more political capital being spent over a cabinet fight.

And it's been a very eventful week. And it's a busy Friday as well. So if you don't already subscribe to the Three Martini Lunch podcast, we encourage you to do that on your podcast platform over on YouTube and have your friends do it as well. Jim, one of the things, as we've said a few times now since Election day, that's always fun, especially when your

side wins, is watching the other side ring their hands, try to figure out what went wrong,

0:42.7

and most importantly, blame each other for what went wrong. And so, you know, what Kamala Harris

0:49.3

did wrong, did Biden stay in too long, you know, the Senate races. We'll talk more about one of those in just a moment.

0:56.6

But on the House side, the Democrats really thought they had a good chance to win back the majority.

1:01.1

And since they were also confident of winning the presidency, all they were missing was the Senate for their trifecta.

1:07.9

Instead, Republicans have the trifecta.

1:10.7

And Democrats, even on the House

1:12.5

side, are pointing fingers. Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader, I assume will still be the

1:17.8

Democratic leader, but he addressed the media for the first time since the Democrats fell short.

1:23.5

But here's how Hakeem Jeffries started his briefing today. The elections are over and the American people have spoken.

1:30.8

The former president, Donald Trump, will be the next president of the United States of America.

1:38.1

And House Democrats have fallen a few seats short of reclaiming the majority.

1:44.9

And so, of course, there are all sorts of recriminations and blame to be pointed around,

1:48.3

but Axios has found a number of unnamed, of course, Democrats, progressives, who say it's

1:54.6

Hakeem Jeffries' fault.
