US House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (C), Democrat from New York, speaks alongside Representative Katherine Clark (L), Democrat from Massachusetts, and Representative Ted Lieu (R), Democrat from California, during a press conference in Washington, DC, on November 4, 2026, a day after Democrats claimed a majority in the House and the Senate following the US midterm elections.
