Rep. Steny Hoyer (D., Md.), the leadership member showcased in the audio, said on Friday that the party will not make any changes, according to Roll Call.
"Leadership requires trying to make recommendations that you think will be the most effective," Hoyer said. "So I don’t think we’re dissuaded from that."
