House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) pushed back on claims that Republicans had an “overwhelming mandate” from last week’s elections, noting strong Democratic performances in key House races.
Republicans regained the presidency and control of the Senate for the next Congress in last week’s election and narrowly retained control of the House of Representatives, which they flipped from Democrats in the 2022 elections. Jeffries conceded that Democrats would be in the minority for the next Congress and vowed to be bipartisan under the continued Republican hold of the chamber.
