Jeffries Stresses Need for Democrats to Stick Together

Behind closed doors, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) emphasized the need for Democrats to stick together on any votes on Kevin McCarthy’s speakership, ABC News reports.

He didn’t show his cards on how he thinks the caucus should vote, but that could come later this afternoon.

When Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) was asked by NBC News how he’ll vote, he responded: “We haven’t decided yet.”

Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), co chair of bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, told Punchbowl News this is the Republicans’ mess: “I’m from Jersey, and one thing I know is not to mess with other people’s families.”
