House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) argued Monday that he and his fellow House Democrats “believe in free and fair elections” and will accept the 2024 election results because of this shared belief. 

Jeffries was asked about the possibility of former President Donald Trump objecting to the results of Tuesday’s election, as he did in the 2020 election against President Joe Biden. In response, Jeffries argued that most House Republicans currently in office voted not to certify the 2020 election results, and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and others “don’t seem to be capable” of saying they will certify Tuesday’s election results.
