House Democrats to Elect New Generation of Leaders

“House Democrats will elect their new leadership team Wednesday morning, ushering in a younger generation of leaders after Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer decided to step aside after Democrats narrowly lost the majority this month,” NBC News reports.

Said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the new Democratic leader: “This is a moment of transition. We stand on the shoulders of giants, but are also looking forward to being able to do what’s necessary at this moment to advance the issues.”
