Jesse Watters: Democrats have a long Christmas list

Fox News host Jesse Watters analyzes the latest maneuvers of top Democrats, including a reported feud between former Vice President Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’

The Democratic Party is a very old and venerable institution, and as such, it has a lot of rules, a lot of buffers, and yes, this thing of theirs, it has centers of power. You might even call them families.

Now, these families, so to speak, they aren’t at war with each other, at least not usually, but they do have their own interests and priorities, and sometimes conflicts do arise. To truly understand the party, and where it is going, you have to understand the Five Families who lead it.

So, let's take a look, one by one. Which crews are in ascendency? Which are in chaos? And what will it mean for the party as it seeks to take Congress and the White House and put every agency in the country right in its back pocket?

Over the past several years, Nancy ‘The Gavel’ Pelosi has positioned the San Francisco family, once a fringe backwater, into the most powerful of the five. Not only did Pelosi whack the second-term ambitions of the party’s old boss, Joey ‘Naps’ Biden, but she hand-selected Frisco’s own Kamala ‘Cackles’ Harris to replace him.

Old Lady Pelosi might not be speaker of the House anymore, but who do we find leading the presidential primary polling today in the party? Why, none other than Gavin "The Peacock" Newsom, another San Francisco treat, and a testament to its family’s outsized power. While the family has traditionally been the party’s most left-leaning, that title faces a challenge from the northern family.

Minneapolis?Boss: Tim WalzCapos: Ilhan Omar, Jacon Frey, Keith Ellison

The Minneapolis family, led by Tim ‘Whitey’ Walz — an extremely good earner as we are finding out every day — is one that is surpassing San Francisco’s legendary leftism. Ilhan "The Inlaw" Omar is the best example. Her political vision is one of reparations, whereby through legislation, or sometimes, you know, just graft, money goes from native-born Americans to immigrant groups like Minnesota’s Somali community who will not assimilate.
