U.S. Representative from New YorkRep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., was unanimously elected on Wednesday as the next leader of the House Democratic Caucus. The 52-year-old Brooklyn native,, will be the first Black and first nonwhite party leader in Congress.
Jeffries has served as the U.S. representative for New York’s Eighth Congressional District since 2013. He was previously a member of the state Assembly. Jeffries cruised to reelection in the midterm earlier this month, easily defeating Republican challenger Yuri Dashevsky with 72.4% of the vote. — including the one held by Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the House Democratic campaign chairman, charged with protecting his party’s hold on Congress.
Jeffries has held prominent positions on Capitol Hill. In 2018 he defeated Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., to become chair of the House Democratic Caucus, making him the fifth-ranking member of the Democratic leadership in the chamber.
I'll bet Hakeem can't wait to buy himself a $20,000 refrigerator for his kitchen just like Nancy did with her ill gotten gains as a corrupt politician.
The democrats are PROGRESSIVE. That is one of the reasons why I’m a democrat. Let’s go forward and let’s do it together as one nation, under God, with Liberty and Justice for all.
And election denier….you forgot that part of your headline.
He's an election denier.
He’s also an election denier…
