“One of the things that we heard last night, resoundingly across the country, is that we are in … a new movement in this country,” Flanagan said. “Many of us were elected who refused corporate PAC money, who are beholden only to the people who elected us and are ready to fight for bold change. And so I think it’s time for new leadership.”

Schiff, maybe?
He’s not as progressive as Bernie, but he’s widely respected by Democrats and has more experience investigating the Trump administration than just about any other Congress critter.
Schiff would be a good pick if Dems want to demonstrate a serious shift of priorities and how they’re serious about exercising their investigative/oversight mandate rather than more “business as usual”.
EDIT: While we’re at it, let’s make Raskin house speaker and really get serious about investigating the president.
The problem is his absolute devotion to Israel. He would just change the face of obstruction to ending Iran war. Bernie just finally came out for UBI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2Wi64kFh90
