Primary Jeffries

We need Van as a regular contributor 😂😂😂😂
Van is such an insightful commentator! Would love to see him back on the show!

Breaking Points needs to have Jeffries' Primary challenger on the show. Give this guy the chance that Zohran had.
It’s wild that the voters are hungry for their reps to challenge the system and the politicians do the opposite. Awful
Van has been a vocal fan of Breaking Points for a while, glad you could have him on.
