#shorts Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives picked a new leader, New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, who will become the first Black person to lead either major political party in Congress when the new congressional session opens in January. Hakeem Jeffries says he “certainly expect” Biden to run for re-election in 2024. The 52-year-old Jeffries, a House member for 10 years, has vowed to “get things done.” His selection, in a unanimous vote by acclamation at a caucus of party lawmakers, marks a generational shift for Democrats. Outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 82, has been the party’s leader for two decades but announced earlier this month she would remain in the House but not seek a party leadership position in the new Congress as Republicans take control.

Jeffries was one of three new leaders Democrats elected, along with Massachusetts Congresswoman Katherine Clark, 59, as the Democratic whip and California Congressman Pete Aguilar, 43, as Caucus chairman. On 12/4/22, incoming House Democrat Whip Katherine Clark says she remembers her kid “waking up with nightmares” due to climate change. She said that biggest change next year is Democrats will be in minority.
