Jeffries you are a good man. May God bless and keep you.

[TheFlyguywill]

I like Hakeem Jeffries, good work. Anybody notice how he talks with his hands almost like an Italian? 😁

[jarhead]

Well said Mr. Jeffries. Keep shining that light on those MAGA folks.

[maryhjort]

Its good to hear Jeffries speaking to the need to anticipate continuing repuglican obstructions to progress, the rule of law and the needs of the American people.

[floridacrackerguitartips]

I want to see Hakeem Jeffries and Pete Buttigieg run together on a Democratic ticket. Both are wicked smart and are focused on smart policies that will make America greater! These guys are the next generation.

[frankvaslo]

When they work together and isolate the extreme MAGA members .... the GOP and Dems can get things done. It should be a lesson learned.

[tcharles]

Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries - you are a true and worthy successor to Emerita Speaker, the great, Nancy Pelosi! I can't wait to see you actually 'holding' that Speaker's gavel!

[kathrinekerns]

Thank you For putting America first. Thank you Hakeem Jefferies. America is strong and will remain strong with a good budget. Helping Veterans, Headstart, Wic, etc. Is a good thing. I hope now we can begin to heal and keep moving forward and get the MAGA crazies out of Congress. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲God bless America.

Thank MSNBC FOR GIVING AIRTIME TO OUR PATRIOTS IN GOVERNMENT AND NOT THE DANGEROUS LYING MAGA TRAITORS!

Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D - N.Y has a lot of class

[karynajabrail]

The Republicans most belong in JAIL already

[urbandesert]

There was no way McCarthy was going to pass the bill without Dem help to avoid a shutdown because members of his party were against him, and McCarthy will need Dem support to keep his job.

[DP_e-que]

Thank you Jeffries for the way you put the republican party in check and letting the people know who is responsible for all this chaos. Thank you again

[magaareinbredhillbillies]

Thank you, president Biden, for removing the trump stench and the DA that charge trump, and the republican that will testify against trump, great to see the adults are still in charge.

[irismckay]

Proud of my Dem Brothers and Sisters keeping our government going despite the childish behavior of the republican House.

[rebeccadieter]

Hakeem Jeffries should have been Speaker in the first place

[louisedumais]

the people are tired of this nonsense, vote these people out, vote for whoever primaries them and if the only choice is blue than hold your noses and do that it's the only to get the message across that enough is enough

[incognito]

45 days is not enough but it’s a start. This has to stop and never happen again …Ever!
Republican the power is your hands. DO. NOT re-elect these fools. Wake up. This is nor your fathers Republican Party anymore.

[beatricemitchell]

It's called Telling the Absolute Truth.

[daydreambeliever]

Can you imagine how much more would've gotten done if Leader Jeffries was speaker of the house?
