参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默与众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯，在民主党凭借周二选举的压倒性胜绩赢回参众两院多数席位后，未回应福克斯新闻数字平台关于国会首批潜在举措的提问。
舒默被问及是否计划废除冗长辩论规则（filibuster，指参议院阻挠议事的议事程序），此前有猜测称民主党可能废除该规则——此前唐纳德·特朗普总统曾多次敦促参议院共和党人废除冗长辩论规则，以推进《拯救美国法案》（SAVE America Act）的通过。
特朗普此前曾警告称，如果共和党人不就此采取行动，民主党一旦获得机会就会行动，而现在他们已抓住了机会。
福克斯新闻数字平台曾两次追问舒默是否计划废除冗长辩论规则，舒默均未回应。

部分民主党人此前曾暗示，如果赢回参议院控制权，他们不反对废除冗长辩论规则。
在周三上午的新闻发布会上，舒默同样拒绝就民主党夺回多数席位后他在参议院的部分计划（包括废除冗长辩论规则）回应提问。
他还表示，尽管有新当选的民主党人反对，他仍将获得参议院民主党党团的“多数党领袖连任提名”。随后他迅速将话题转向中期选举的蓝潮胜势，以及该党计划如何利用“参议院版图的世代重塑机遇”开展工作。
舒默表示他不会退出，但他自己的候选人不准备支持他

杰弗里斯也被福克斯新闻数字平台问及一个悬而未决的问题：在民主党已将调查目标提上日程，讨论调查特朗普政府涉嫌腐败的行动后，民主党是否会调查埃隆·马斯克。
当福克斯新闻数字平台记者接近杰弗里斯时，他向记者竖了个大拇指，但当被问及众议院民主党是否会调查马斯克时，他未作出回应。
马斯克已成为民主党监督的潜在目标，部分议员呼吁对他担任政府效率部（Department of Government Efficiency）负责人期间的表现展开审查。民主党议员还暗示将调查其旗下公司与联邦政府数十亿美元的合同，以及最近他切断乌克兰军队网络接入的相关角色。

这位众议院民主党领袖拒绝回应之际，民主党内部就是否推选杰弗里斯担任众议院议长存在分歧。
有一份请愿书已获得超过55万个签名，要求罢免杰弗里斯的众议院领袖职务，理由是该党需要一位代表“民主党选民，而非仅民主党建制派”的议长。
由于许多新当选的国会候选人对同时支持杰弗里斯和舒默作为党内领袖犹豫不决，或直接反对，参众两院国会领袖人选的决定仍悬而未决。

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., did not answer Fox News Digital’s questions about their potential first moves in Congress after the Democrats won back the majority in both chambers with sweeping victories in Tuesday’s elections.
Schumer was pressed on whether he plans to abolish the filibuster as speculation grows that Democrats could eliminate the filibuster after President Donald Trump urged Senate Republicans to terminate it numerous times to pass the SAVE America Act.
Trump previously warned that if Republicans didn’t act on it, the Democrats would if given the opportunity, which they now have.
Schumer ignored the question after being asked twice by Fox News Digital if he plans to eliminate it.

Some Democrats have previously signaled openness to eliminating the filibuster if they regained the Senate.
During a news conference Wednesday morning, Schumer also refused to answer questions about some of his plans for the Senate as Democrats take back the majority, including eliminating the filibuster.
He also said he will be “re-elected as majority leader” by the Senate Democratic caucus despite opposition from newly elected Democrats. He quickly redirected the conversation to focus on the blue wave in the midterm elections and what the party plans to do with the “generational remake of the Senate map.”
SCHUMER SAYS HE’S NOT GOING ANYWHERE, BUT HIS OWN CANDIDATES AREN’T READY TO BACK HIM

Jeffries was also asked by Fox News Digital about the looming question over whether Democrats will probe Elon Musk after the party has begun eyeing targets in discussed efforts to investigate alleged corruption in the Trump administration.
Jeffries gave Fox News Digital a thumbs-up when approached but did not respond when asked whether House Democrats would investigate Musk.
Musk has emerged as a potential target of Democratic oversight, with some lawmakers calling for scrutiny of his time as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Democratic lawmakers have also suggested looking into his companies’ multibillion-dollar contracts with the federal government and, more recently, his role in cutting internet access to the Ukrainian military.
‘LAWYER UP’: DEMS IMMEDIATELY PUT TRUMP ON NOTICE AMID REPUBLICANS’ MIDTERM BLOODBATH

The House minority leader’s refusal to comment comes as Democrats are divided over whether they would select Jeffries as speaker of the house.
There was a petition started that has received over 550,000 to oust Jeffries from leading the House, arguing the party needs a speaker that represents “the Democratic voters, not just the Democratic establishment.”
With many of the newly elected congressional candidates hesitant, or outright opposed, to backing both Jeffries and Schumer as leaders, the decision over who will be the leaders of both chambers of Congress is still in limbo.
