Hakeem Jeffries Consolidates the Democrats

“Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries may not emerge with the speakership as Republicans remain divided on who they’ll elect to lead the House of Representatives, but he’s done something that hasn’t been done in more than a decade,” NBC News reports.

“When the New York congressman secured 212 votes for speaker Tuesday afternoon, it was the first time since 2007 that a Democratic leader has won support from every single member of their caucus.”
