Progressive William Lawrence, after winning Michigan’s 7th District Democratic primary, pledged to vote for Hakeem Jeffries as House speaker, reversing a position he held earlier during his campaign. In October, Lawrence was among a group of progressive candidates refusing to commit to Jeffries, telling Axios: “I hope to have... an alternative to Jeffries to vote for.” He also said he hopes to speak with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to unite to defeat the Republican incumbent.show more

Im so tired of the back pedaling. If you can successfully campaign as anti-Jeffries, you hold onto that belief after you win

Look at this pos. He hasn't even won the general and he already is backpedaling. Keep it up buddy, you're not going to win the general election.

AOC is the one who invented this model, which is run as a progressive, win your primary, and then willingly cave to centrists to be part of them. Making excuses for AOC led us to this way. They’re not playing 5D chess. It’s their nature.

The fuck is this ? What’s with supposed left leaning candidates losing their spine as soon as they are elected. Melat did the same

democrats are the party of hakeem jeffries

You don't just change yoyr mind out or the blue like this. He knew he was going to do this and lied to get support from the left. G Complete garbage.

Oh how I regret donating to you @WeWill2026 The moment you needed to bow to Jeffries & AIPAC for power, bow you did. This makes me so sad. I really believed you had integrity and a spine.

@WeWill2026 Hey asshole, already betraying your progressive promises that got you that fucking job?

That's fraud then. Making a verbal contract to gain election and then immediately reversing that commitment is a clear breach of contract. Obtaining a benefit by deception.

Pants of fire. Never changes. They promise what you want to hear then lie,lie,lie.

Are the Dems planting these so called progressives who fucking backflip at the drop of the hat. Because what’s the point.They didn’t vote you in the primary to have you back peddle @WeWill2026 you’re going to find yourself losing in the general if you keep pulling this shit

Dudes groveling for @AIPAC shakur’s genocide program not even one day after winning? Turn-coating for genocide for the love of the game.

You only flip within 24 hours of winning when you were planning to do it the whole time. Skinny Fetterman.

lol another two faced grifter who had ambitions to become a politician and said whatever he needed to say to get elected? Colour me shocked 🫢

Uuiigggghhhhh! This dude is fast tracking his AOC trust fall. So pathetic.

Standard @AOC playbook. Endorsed Cuomo within hours of her 2018 primary win vs Joe Crowley after basically campaigning against Cuomo for months. #Democrats #HeadFake US🇺🇸🇮🇱 #fascism is bipartisan. Nothing we do in a voting booth can save us. #EpsteinClass #AIPAC

He just gave away his leverage with Jeffries for free. Real shrewd politician there.

Just a reminder DSA and Working Families Party are just marketing vehicles to get people to vote democrat. None of these guys are serious about making life better for working class people.

You see this happen 👇 and you become hopeful, then you remember... ...I've been here a thousand times before 🤔

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

At least Fetterman waited until he was sworn in before stabbing his supporters in the back.

The unfortunate thing is that Hakeem Jeffries isn't Chuck Schumer and I really think most Congressional Democrats no matter how Progressive will balk at being seen as the person who tried to stop the first Black Speaker of the House..

Another useless "progressive" from the DSA, continuing the pattern.

Hey @grok did @hasanthehun support this candidate?

Where’s the spine?

AIPAC hasn’t given this clown a dime and they’ve got him in their back pocket!!

What's the point of gaining power, @WeWill2026, if you're going to align with the corrupt people and forces blocking progress in the first place? Pathetic and not at all what's needed. El-Sayed thwarted these same people. What are you afraid of?

I see people are excited that they won against @AIPAC, but let's not forget these bitches are still Demorats, and they are going to do everything their party wants—and that is to support Israel. Now people in Michigan are going to see this shit and may stay home fucking dummies.

Luring the guileless into their fake dead-end party? #NotOurFirstRodeo #AIPAC🇮🇱 "It is the Democratic party's job to prevent peace, equality, justice, and socialism." -@caitoz US #fascism is bipartisan. Nothing we do in a voting booth can save us.

come on man

I regret donating to his campaign

Damnnn.. Is this accurate? Already… we need campaign finance reform.

He’s just lost because people are through with these 2 faced democrats.

It hasn't been 24hrs since he won and he's already selling people out.
