Making history as first Black lawmaker to lead a major party in Congress
House Democrats elected New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries to lead their party in the next Congress, succeeding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Jeffries will make history as the first Black lawmaker to lead a major party in Congress.
Jeffries, who has served in the House since 2013 and is currently chair of the House Democratic Caucus, marks a generational change in the party after two decades of leadership under Pelosi, who announced her retirement from the post earlier in November.

'Adversity makes you stronger': Brooklyn's Hakeem Jeffries poised to become House Democrats' leader
Brooklyn Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is poised to become the next leader of House Democrats — and the first Black leader of either party in Congress — as lawmakers gather behind closed doors to vote Wednesday on Capitol Hill.
Jeffries is so far running unopposed to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who announced before Thanksgiving that she would step back from leadership after two decades as the chamber’s top Democrat.
Speaking with reporters Tuesday ahead of the vote, Jeffries said it was “premature” to conclude what he would do differently than Pelosi “without having those challenges in front of us where decisions will have to be made.”
“No one can do it the way that Nancy Pelosi has done it. She’s an extraordinary leader for the ages. And the greatest speaker of all time,” he continued.

One of the nastiest racial jokes I ever heard was, "if you don't want Herschel to fumble the ball, you have to paint it up to look like a watermelon"!
This joke started in Georgia by Georgians when he was in college there- NOT DALLAS!
I bet some of the same people that told that joke are now voting for him!
My oh My- how times have changed!
