HBO star Hannah Einbinder lashed out at Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries in a fiery Instagram post, calling on followers to aggressively lobby lawmakers against making him the next House Speaker. The Hacks actress dismissed Jeffries as arrogant and demanded his removal from power, exemplifying a growing left-wing revolt targeting the Democratic leader.
Celebrity Backlash Escalates
Einbinder isn’t alone in her disdain for Jeffries. Marvel actor Mark Ruffalo has circulated a petition opposing his potential speakership, claiming Jeffries represents party insiders rather than progressive priorities. Meanwhile, The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart has pressured Democrats to block Sen. Chuck Schumer’s expected majority leadership role, signaling broader discontent with the party establishment.
Jeffries’ Controversial Stance on Israel
The Brooklyn Democrat’s staunch pro-Israel stance—including unwavering support during the Gaza conflict—has drawn intense criticism from progressive activists. Jeffries has described his commitment to Israel’s security as “ironclad,” further alienating left-wing factions pushing the party toward more anti-Israel policies.
The brewing defiance comes as Democrats prepare to assume House and Senate majorities in 2027, with internal battles over leadership roles exposing deep ideological rifts. While Jeffries remains the favorite among party power brokers, celebrities and activists are mounting an unprecedented campaign to derail his ascent—proving that Democratic unity may be more fragile than their recent electoral victories suggest.
