“In my view, the elections in 2018, 2020 and 2022 represent a clear repudiation of Trumpism and political extremism on the right,' Brooklyn-based Rep. Hakeem Jeffries says before a vote that would make him the House Democratic leader.
, Jeffries committed to an inclusive approach where he would empower all members. He said that meant, “We need every single member of the House Democratic Caucus on the playing field, playing the right position, but on the field.”
“In my view, the elections in 2018, 2020 and 2022 represent a clear repudiation of Trumpism and political extremism on the right. We have consistently won elections, defied expectations, and even in this midterm, where we were expected to lose the House in a red wave that only turned out to barely be a red trickle, over-performed expectations in the House, held the Senate, won governorships throughout battleground states in America, and even flipped legislative bodies,” said Jeffries.
He said he expected Gov. Kathy Hochul would ensure the party conducted that analysis and that it could be used to determine how to build the party’s infrastructure ahead of what will be another round of competitive federal elections in 2024.
“I believe that Speaker Carl Heastie, Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Hochul have the ability, the skill, and the wherewithal to strike the right balance moving forward in the next legislative session. It's not my job to weigh in aggressively with respect to the specific legislative path that they should take, but I do believe that they will aggressively address the issue of public safety in the next legislative session.
