New Dems Statement on Speaker Election
Today, New Democrat Coalition Leadership issued the following statement in support of Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ bid for Speaker of the House:
“Four years ago, House Democrats invested our trust in Hakeem Jeffries to lead our Caucus. Under his bold leadership, Democrats thwarted the projected “red wave” in 2024, effectively governed in the minority throughout the 119th Congress, and are now poised to have the largest majority in more than 30 years! With Leader Jeffries’ help, the New Democrat Coalition will welcome 40 new members next year and will number more than 140 in the 120th Congress.
“We’re at a critical moment in American history. Hakeem Jeffries is the right person at the right time to lead our party. He’s smart, strategic, and action-oriented, with strong relationships across the Democratic caucus.
“We can’t wait to vote for Hakeem Jeffries to be Speaker of the House on January 3, 2027, and are excited to work with him and our colleagues to advance the Democrats’ bold agenda, making life better for all Americans and our children’s future more secure.”
