House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins Morning Joe to talk about what comes next after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in the midterms. Jeffries calls the result a “stunning rebuke” of Trump and GOP policies, adding that Democrats now have to deliver on affordability—from groceries and gas to health care—while pursuing accountability by following the facts and the law.
Jayapal I think has the chops to make a play for Speaker to signal a meaningful change in the party. Plus it maintains the Speakership as a person of color which is Jeffries biggest argument.
Also, Cory Booker is not it. He would be the Jeffries to Chuck.
Jayapal is a great suggestion! Thank you so much for mentioning her.
And yeah, that seems to be the consensus on Cory Booker. More effective at playing the political game than he is at actually delivering for constituents. Sad.
