Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who is expected to lead House Democrats in the next term, pushed back on notions that the caucus is in "disarray" and expressed optimism on Sunday that Democrats will maintain unity in the face of a GOP majority. During an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," co-anchor Jake Tapper asked Jeffries about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) telling The New York Times there was "healing that needs to be done in our caucus" after Jeffries emerged as Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) likely successor. "The thing about us, Jake, is that while we can have some noisy conversations at times, about how we can make progress for the American people, what we've seen is that under the leadership of Speaker Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Jim Clyburn, we've constantly been able to come together," Jeffries said, touting Democrats' legislative accomplishments in the last term. |

"I think Mike Pence is trying to please two different groups: he's trying to please those that are concerned with [former President] Trump, and those that really liked Donald Trump," Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said. "And here's something I've learned Jake, in kind of the last five years, you can't please them both. You really just have to pick, you have to be committed to whatever you believe truth is, and pick that side." |
