Hakeem Jeffries is replacing long-serving Speaker Nancy Pelosi and will be the first Black person to lead a major party in Congress.
Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., arrives to hold a news conference in the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Tuesday, November 15, 2022.
It’s rare that a party that lost the midterm elections would so easily regroup and stands in stark contrast with the upheaval among Republicans, who are struggling to unite around GOP leader Kevin McCarthy as the new House speaker as they prepare to take control when the new Congress convenes in January.
"It an important moment for the caucus — that there’s a new generation of leadership," said Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., ahead of voting. Jeffries said he hopes to find "common ground when possible" with Republicans but will "oppose their extremism when we must."
