Rep. Hoyer: We'll Take The Majority Back In 2024

Absolutely they'll take it back; the G.O.P. is running the same old dog, a losing prospect as people are done with their laptop drivel.

"When you're in the minority, it's a good time to train people (or yourself!), to be in the majority".

Wow! This can be applied many ways. 💡

All the GOP dislikes Nancy because she was so effective she had a spine when we needed it

[bwayne]

The passing of the torch. Jeffries will be a great leader in 2024. McCarthy has no control over the feral cats.

[daTERRORIZER]

This is not leadership but extraordinary leadership.
Extraordinary leaders are never solely concerned about themselves and their personal victories. They have integrity and always remember to hold the needs of others equal to or greater than their own.

[veronicastewart]

Yes we will, because Kevin is going to let the crazies turn the House into a zoo.

[tracevicente]

Their timing is perfect, it is just sad that the attack on Paul Pelosi may have been the spark to really do this.

Right before they do a final vote on a major piece of legislation, Majority leader Hoyer always gives an amazing speech, well worth watching!

[jroysims]

I'm in northern Virginia, so Steny's my neighbor.
He's a classy guy.

Stoyer demonstrates his leadership and the strength of his soul by passing the baton. Hakeem Jeffries is a strong leader and a fighter and is a great choice. Cannot say enough good or express enough gratitude for the leadership of Nancy Pelosi, who is perhaps the most effective, strongest, most integral, and greatest Speaker in US History. Pelosi is a true Giant and so is Steny Hoyer. Yet, we have full confidence in Hakeem.

[annchristine]

Well said Mr Hoyer!It is time to bring in millennials and Gen Z to support and continue the fight for Democracy.The Democrats have great, intelligent people to choose from.

[michellewilcock]

She was so articulate and appreciated the bills you passed will help so many lives!!!

[arturoochoa]

Thank God he is still on the Appropriations Committee.

[emsleywyatt]

Government works best when the majority party has the memory of having been in the minority and the knowledge that they will be there again.

[princesstiarra]

I do see the country turning Blue 💙 I just feel empowered that America has shown in the mid-terms that we're heading to recovery and New Great things are in the making.

[josephpowell]

I think dems are finally starting to play chess and not checkers

[mlynne-ucpy]

with Majority Leader Hoyer on using the extensive time ** while being in the minority position in the House of Congress to work with the next generation of Democratic House Leaders ** in order to build & develop “enhanced” leadership

[rhondaunger]

I'm so excited for Hakeem Jeffries he will make a great speaker

[pinklover]

Dems better take the House back in 2024. Keep the WH & Senate.
