Hakeem Jeffries Eases Into Committee Term-Limit Debate

“House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stepped gingerly into the debate over placing term limits on Democratic committee chairs Friday, calling it ‘the right discussion’ as a fierce generational-change fight roils his caucus,” Politico reports.

Said Jeffries: “It’s the right conversation to have, and we’re going to have that discussion in December as a caucus, and I look forward to embracing it.”

“While Jeffries did not outright endorse term limits, his openness to discussing restrictions on committee leadership is noteworthy as House Democrats consider rules to govern themselves in the next Congress.”
