Rachel Maddow welcomes 'big fight' between socialist and moderate Democrats after midterm wins

· Fox News

MS NOW host Rachel Maddow told ABC's "The View" Wednesday she hopes there will be a "big fight" between moderate and socialist members of the Democratic Party in Congress.

While promoting her new book "Department of Fate," Maddow discussed recent calls from some progressive senators to replace Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., once Democrats take control of the Senate in January.

Those calling for new leadership included Democratic senators-elect Adam Hamilton of Kansas, Troy Jackson of Maine and Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan.

Though some Democrats have expressed concerns about infighting within the party, Maddow dismissed those concerns and welcomed the idea of moderate Democrats debating socialists.

"I feel like the Democrats have kind of first-world problems right now," Maddow joked. "There was so much talk ahead of the election about, ‘Oh there’s these handful of democratic socialist-associated candidates. How are the Democrats going to do?’ 

"Well, the Democrats elected so many people. Yes, they elected a handful of democratic socialists, but also the Blue Dog coalition, which is the conservative Democrats. They have like a dozen new members too."

Maddow argued that the Democratic Party now includes members with a wide range of political views and that debate could strengthen the party.

"I think that it’s righteous for them to have a big fight. I hope they don’t settle it instantly. I hope they actually do have a debate. I think competition makes us stronger," she said.

Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer's office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Maddow's comments came one day after "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg called out congressional Democrats publicly debating whether to replace Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., as party leaders.

"This is my two cents," Goldberg said. "I don’t want to hear this from you right now. I want to know what all of you are, all of you Democrats, what are your plans for the first 100 days? I don’t care if you’ve been there forever or just got there. What are your plans?

"We put you in there to clean house, to make sure that the government works the way the people want it to work," she added. "I don’t want to hear all this infighting, because then you become the distraction, and then you become no better than the Republicans were. So, just get your stuff together. All of you."

Democratic strategist and pollster Doug Schoen disagreed with Maddow's assessment.

"It’s clear the Dems won an overwhelming victory because of moderates, not progressives. The American people are demanding action on the affordability crisis, not intraparty infighting between progressives and moderates," Schoen told Fox News Digital.

Luka Doncic injury update: What we know after Lakers star rolls ankle late in win vs Bucks

· Yahoo Sports

The Los Angeles Lakers' blowout over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, Nov. 11 may have come at a steep cost.

Visit extonnews.click for more information.

Austin Reaves exited the game in the third quarter and did not return with a left heel injury. Collin Sexton later went into the locker room himself after taking a headbutt in the fourth, and then Luka Dončić appeared to roll his right ankle with just over four minutes to go.

Dončić hit a stepback 3 (later overturned to a long 2-pointer) over Kyle Kuzma, but his ankle twisted as soon as it landed on the ground and sent the two-time scoring champion crashing to the floor, where he grabbed at his leg and scooted over to the scorer's table to take a minute.

Dončić was able to get up and walk around, and made a free throw to convert the and-1 before head coach JJ Redick mass subbed the entire lineup with the Lakers up 24 points at the 4:25 mark. He finished the game with 32 points, five rebounds and five assists continuing his red-hot start to the season.

This story will be updated when there is more information.

Chelsea defender Malo Gusto ‘assessing his options’ ahead of January transfer window — report

We’re slowly approaching the January transfer window, and given that it’s the international break, there’s plenty of space for a few rumors to make their way around the footballverse.

Of particular interest to us may be the story that Malo Gusto is said to be “open” to leaving Chelsea and is now “assessing his options” with three and half years still to run on his current contract (2030 expiry). The BBC are among those who nibbled a bit at this little rumor-nugget, adding that while Chelsea’s stance at the moment is “unclear”, we were shopping the 23-year-old around this summer already, at a £75m asking price.

That’s a rather optimistic valuation, especially now that Manchester City cannot just make up income numbers (or can they?). Enzo Maresca was always a big fan of Gusto, and a reunion was speculated about before the season, but unlike in the case of Enzo Fernández, did not come to fruition.

It probably won’t help Gusto’s valuation that he’s finding himself less and less involved as the season’s come along. He’s not started a league match for two months, and I don’t imagine too many are questioning those decisions from Xabi Alonso, unlike some of his other choices of late.

Gusto’s substitute appearance against Sunderland was his 100th Premier League appearance, and 144th overall for Chelsea. He’s among our longest-serving players these days despite his young age — a testament to the constant chopping and changing of the team. Only Reece James and Wesley Fofana have been part of the first-team squad for longer.

But throughout those 3.5 years, Gusto has failed to convince consistently, despite his versatility and world class speed. He’s had moments of great impact and could at times even be practically unplayable for the opposition with his fluid movement and lack of a defined position. But those moments have been few and far between. His best season for us was, perhaps, his very first, when he often thrived in Mauricio Pochettino’s chaosball. Since Poch is about to take over at Manchester United, perhaps they will be interested in another Chelsea castoff?
