This is an excellent, important press briefing but the sound quality is abysmal. Hope to see Jeffries run in the future for President!

I could listen to Hakeem Jeffries answer questions all day. He clearly stands for bipartisanship whenever possible--for the benefit of getting the work done for the American people.

I’m encouraged in many ways about Hakeem Jefferies as a politician, as an elected official AND for his straight talk, including naming Marjorie TGreen as a threat to American democracy.
