House Democrats elected Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York as leader. He will be the first Black lawmaker to lead a congressional caucus in either chamber. (via MaddowBlog)
that I so deeply respect. And I am grateful that so many are ready and willing to shoulder this awesome responsibility.”reportedNew York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the fourth-ranking House Democrat, said Friday that he will run to replace House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as the party’s leader after Republicans took back control of the chamber in last week’s midterm elections. ...
At least for now, Jeffries doesn’t appear to have any rivals. His odds of becoming the House minority leader in the next Congress are quite good. But this isn’t a situation in which Democrats are making minor changes: Soon after Pelosi announced her plans, incumbent House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said he’s stepping down from his leadership post, too.
It sets the stage for an entirely new House Democratic leadership team for the first time in 20 years: Jeffries appears on track to be the minority leader, while Rep. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts will likely be the House minority whip and Rep. Pete Aguilar of California will likely be the Democratic conference chairman.in Republican politics about the GOP’s leadership team on Capitol Hill, for the time being, things appear far less tumultuous in the new House minority.
In contrast, Jeffries is 52, Clark is 59, and Aguilar is 43. In other words, the oldest member of the incoming Democratic leadership team is nearly a quarter-century younger than the youngest member of the current Democratic leadership team.As for Clyburn, the South Carolinian is the only member of the current leadership team who is sticking around, though he will apparently hold a more advisory role as the assistant minority leader.
