The way he allows his peers speak is another example of his leadership skills.
Trump NEVER did this!
This bloke is an absolute 🤡
He’s a piece
Any of you Dems want to tell me why you don't care about 7-8 million coming accross, can you win anything without cheating, censorng, paying people off, two sets of justice etc.
@@jerrypeal653of gold...
Excellent. Keep calling them out for extremism. There's no other word for it.
About freaking time we de-normalized it.
Jeffries is the extremist. Turn off the fake news BS and you might discover that.
Oh hahahahahaha..liberal hypocrisy is in the blood.
Can’t we just hire this adult?
Drain the swamp
👏👏👏they make me SO proud to be a democrat 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Me too😊😊😊
They make me so proud to Democrat,
Look at what Democrats have done to this country!! War in every direction. We had peace under Trump! Why can’t y’all admit it !?!?!
The house has essentially been on strike for two weeks and still getting paid. The taxpayers have spent $3 million in salaries for these folks and they have gotten nothing done. What a waste of our tax dollars.
And they are the same ones bitching about excessive spending!
This dude has swagger dripping out his ears.
Swagger?
@@spotty67yes, like a young Ronald regan
ok dork
@@jasonapplebaum9871🤢🤮😵🤡
That's not swagger, a street lingo. He has poise. Much more different and genuine. We're just not used to it.
Jeffrey needs to be the house speaker. Jim Jordan is a nut.
That!
You are more than right. They should elect Jeffries. Republicans need to think of the country First.
Calling Jefferies a nut is disrespectful to nuts!
It’s Jeffries, not Jeffrey…and, as Obama liked to arrogantly say: “Elections have consequences.” YES-they do-at least when they’re not stolen! You Democrats don’t have the majority…the Republicans have the majority. If you Libs knew anything about The Constitution of The United States, you would understand why “Jeffrey” ain’t Speaker material.
Everyone is a “nut” on the other side of the aisle, right? Come on, man…
HAKEEM JEFFRIES IS LITERALLY QUALIFIED FOR ANYTHING HONESTLY. SUCH CLASS
LOL...qualified how?
Whether or not Democrat Minority Leader Jeffries is qualified for another position in our government is not an answer to the question. How do the Republican Party House Caucus members return the House to its Constitutional orders? Without a functional Speaker of the House of Representatives, our government cannot perform the duties of our Republic mandated by our Constitution. Democrats can not fix this problem. Democrats are not the majority Party. The Republicans in the House are displaying their inability to govern. The Republicans need to be willing to compromise and then keep their word.
@@sylvianix7839yeah about as qualified as electing a career criminal conman turned reality game show host as potus!!🤣🤣🤣
What kind of crack are you smoking?
What I like about Jefferies is that he keeps calling them out every chance he gets. It's the same strategy that Repubs have been pulling to indoctrinate the American public. Giving them a taste if their own damn medicine. Trump does it at everyone of his stupid rallies. Dems bad,Maga good.
They need to shout out how Jordon NEVER passed NOT ONE BILL or LAW in his 17 year experience as a LAWMAKER!!!!!!!
He is nothing but an obstructionist, a rump toadie and attack dog.
They did.Repubs don't want to focus on it. It will distract their supporters They'd rather use their distractions like spewing malarkey that,"The Dems are responsible for us not having a House Speaker."
You're a fucking liar
Love him, there’s a man who knows what he’s doing!
Imagine the symbolic gesture if the necessary handful of Republicans voted for Jeffries, to say we’re ready to move forward from this era of extremism.
I wish it would happen. This is a mess the Republicans have put us in. They need to think of the Country and forget trump and do the right thing. Put Jeffries in as Speaker.
I know it wouldn't happen that way
They would be heroes.
@@andercoyote4170 Yes the Republicans are
Right????????
This my boy! Get ‘‘em Hakeem!
Cheer on the Muslim you POS.
He's solid. I love that his direct eye contact voices whose questions he will hear and answer. He is poised and in control. A threat to the chaos of others
I like that description of Jefferies--poised and in control. You're right, that's a threat to chaos. He is the man for the moment.

Intelligence, swag, compassion Hakeem, Jeffries
Hakeem should run for President. He’s definitely has a Presidential vibe.
so you choose based on vibe? exactly why we have a mess with Biden. People aren't qualified to run for office due to their skin color, sexual preference, religious beliefs, biological parts OR vibe.
The presidency is a greatly limited position. There is a lot a president can accomplish under the right circumstances, but the Speaker of the House can do a lot more than any president. He or she can be in that position for many decades when the presidency is only for maybe 8 years. Jefferies should stay right where he is or be seated as a Supreme Court justice.
Hakeem is a Lair knows the 2020 election was rigged ,Jeffrey is a yes man gropes women Lair Lair needs to look at his self before comdem someone else btw Pelosi created Jeffrey
That would be a wonderful thing. I mean who would be opposed to having a Marxist revolutionary thug in the WH?
How is Jim Jordan disrespectful to the American people when he believes America belongs to its born natives, who by Our Constitution the country does belong to us?
In the meantime those like Jeffries here and your other enemies of the rightful born American natives continue to do everything hostile towards most of us born American natives and in favor of only their preferred people including immigrants and foreigners!
I think the fool Matt Gaetz just did America the hugest gift❤Plus love the cool look in Mr Hakeems eyes
Cringe
😂😂And now he's feeling the crunch from his own party members! Thank you Lord🙏
@@locadisa And support from the American voters
Jeffries is the best observer in the House!
I nearly died when the exasperated reporter said, “we have been.”
Just goes to show, that when reporters are tired of asking errant children what their plans are and what they want and they can't get a clear answer because the child is too busy throwing tantrums and wiping their ass with their hands, it's the democrats they run to for an adult voice and true leadership. It's plain as day to anyone with eyes at this point that even when Republicans "control" the house, it's actually democrats who are in charge and keeping the country together. But what's new?
Thank you , Rep. Hakeem Jeffries!
Calm, smart and strong…Jeffries is a great leader.
Gym Jordan has been and will continue to be just an all around evil person...
Titus’ video on him is so funny❤
I wouldn’t leave him around kids look at the way he looks. Just ask those college guys he didn’t help
Prove it.
@@RR-lv3ch That's a false statement. Jim Jordan is a pro-life patriot who has faced the lies of the house democrats who are fearful of his determination to do the right thing.
Shame on Hakeem Jeffries.
@@RR-lv3chYou must be talking about the Sniffer in Chief, who sneaks up on Girls and pretty young Women, grabbing them by their Shoulders untill his Handlers have no choice but to tell him to let go of his frightened young Victims through his Earpiece.
Btw. Did the Sniffer help Tara Reade?
I agree with Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.
We can ALL thank Matt Gaetz for this mess.
All Republicans. Not just Gaetz. But Gaetz is ONE of the idiots doing this over and over.
Matt Gaetz worked at the direction of the hidden MAGA puppet master known as Donald Trump. Believe it. It's Trump who wants Jordan as the House Speaker so he can use him to do his bidding just as he used Barr.
true story
As directed by Don Drumpf. Both Gatez and the A-shirt lady are taking direct orders from the former president. No republican (so far) has been willing to break with MAGA and form a unity government.
Thank you Matt for dumping Kevin .
He speaks so eloquently and he is representing the people with class and dignity. He should be speaker of the house .
WE NEED TO BE PROTESTING ON CAPTIOL HILL! ITS OBVIOUS THE REPUBLICANS DONT BELIEVE WE DONT WANT GYM!

I am a veteran. Served for six years. Learned allot about leadership… even had to lead…had to. I have this sense about being around a leader… it is something you pick up. I can tell that Hakeem Jeffries is that type of leader. I would have followed him.
Same, Fred! He reflects many of the PLDC materials
Yep, leading from where you are at, not forcing fake leadership from where you think you SHOULD be. Even worse, Republicans voted HALF of what they did for Jordan in public in private.
Yup ..TOTALLY AGREE !!
10 4 agreed
Jefferies is a traitor
I love this guy cuz he speaks the truth
or more like lies Hakeem jefferies is a liar he will not help you he will not help me he will not help the American people. democrats are liars
🤣
He doesn't know what the truth is
Damn troll
@@frandyson6133you don't ,you mean
Hakeem is really good at this, Dems chose their new leader wisely
One of the few predictions I made.... When I saw Hakeen Jeffries early on, I realized he'd be a great leader. He understands what it takes: He repeats the same charge against the GOP over and over again, and that's all it takes. He speaks simply and convincingly.
I won't claim to be a fan of Pelosi
But she did the right thing in stepping down and moving up a younger congressman to take her place, while she is still a member of the House and can give mentorship
It also helps that he is clearly a well spoken person and not just one of these hate spitting fools that often seem to be in charge of our politics
2028 Hakeem could run
@@Snafuskihe’s a divine 9. Yeah, real good
That's a fricken joke
I love how they just talked over reporters and said what they wanted to say. Dems are learning and I'm here for it. Id vote for Jeffries over Biden Imma tell you that right now.. LOL
Well, that's interesting. Because leader Jeffries commend Biden for his leadship just about every time he presents a speech. Even Governor Newsom does the same. I'd vote for Biden...even though he was not my choice for the Democrat Presidential nominee, in 2020.
it is a mystery why the Moderate Republican Majority appear to be content with what is going on in the United States Congress with the Extreme Republican Minority.
I think we’re seeing the revolt and dissatisfaction with the extreme minority in Jordan’s rejection by his own party.
@@isaacgraham5727 This is a good opportunity for a Moderate Majority Republican to run for the House Speaker Job instead of continuing to vote every time to elect an Extremist Minority Republican as Speaker Of The House. There are about 20 Extremist Minority Republicans voting to prevent a nomination of one of their own and it would be informative to find out if they will vote for a Moderate Majority Republican. Thanks for sharing the information and thanks for the reply.
Magat Trumplicans are history!
There aren't many moderate republicans, they were voted out for ppl that believe compromise is a dirty word, and the refuse to work across the aisle
Who are the moderate republicans
“Disrespectful” is the kindest word for Jim Jordan who couldn’t even speak up for his hurting students.
Because he was probably doing things to the guys too. He won't talk against them, because he definitely knew what was going on. Is he gay? On the down la too? Yep
True. He folded like a 2 dollar bill and he will do the same if he's speaker!
I hope to live long enough to see the Honorable Hakeem Jeffries inaugurated as The President of the United States! Honorable, Intelligent, Pragmatic, Polished, Congressman Jeffries checks all the boxes of most important qualities as POTUS in my opinion! AND I’ll bet I’m not the only one with that opinion.
You’ll see him as Speaker for sure
I consider him a leader….. regardless.
I love this positive vibes ❤

Did that reporter just asked Jeffries, if all Democrats be willing to come together with a handful of Republicans, to vote for a Republican? Excuse me, but who is the majority in this equation?!
I just don’t understand why the Republicans don’t know they are the majority. Oh right it’s the blame the Democrats game.
Jim Jordan, per the 14th Amendment, Section 3, as someone who “engaged in insurrection” against the United States, is required to be banned from holding any civil, military, or elected office without the approval of two-thirds of the House and Senate.

CONGRATULATIONS MR. JEFFRIES. 🎊
Competence, candor, clarity, consistency, calmness -- what a leader should have. Why can't republicans elect someone like him?
Cause he blk
Because he’s a democrat
But the gop love chaos and hate the AMerican people. This is clear by therir actions. They are being paid off by someone in the US or in other countries but it is clear they absolutely do not care about the Republic of our country. The gop tribe of criminals.
Because they are jerks. They could elect Jeffries. But that is too much like right.
Because their republicans 😂
Jefferies for speaker!!
The democratic process is fascinating. I am so glad that we get to witness this. This is what democracy is all about!
Is it??
Voice of a calm,compassionate and reasonable leader, something we haven’t experienced in a while. Let’s all have a moment of silence 🙏🏽
NEW RULE: After 3 attempts. On the 4th round, whoever's gets the most votes wins.
Let's stop the nonsense.
Yeah, doubtful that'd get adopted.
But either way, there has to be a speaker FIRST, nothing is getting adopted, passed, or even proposed until the GOP actually get off their widest part and DO SOMETHING.
That would be lazy. I believe this trial by fire is better. You gotta knock some sense into people sometimes.
Typical response from a democrat, if you can't win find a way to steal it, bit like the election.
The tribe of chaos will continue to create chaos because they really do not care about the American people. Vote blue.
😂😄 By then Gym will be down from 194 to 188!😂
Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker!
Hakeem Jeffries should run for president. He's willing to reach out across the aisle, and truly work for the American people.
What a disaster that would be, wow, do some research...
Biden has already done that over and over again
A future president.
Im agreed.
I have thought the EXACT SAME THING.
We need to stop having a divided government. People need to vote Blue up and down the ticket. Elections have consequences.
That blue vote is about to get you drafted have fun
Just because you say
@@brendabryant8637 Hmm the media not showing everything going on until its time to draft Warnews 24/7 is a good source to start

He's just boldly telling the truth. Repubs do like bold, though...their ears go deaf when someone is telling the real truth!
We want People to work for the American People. we know nothing is gonna get done anyway.
Please lets get some good republicans on our side
Name one.
They have ousted all of the "good" republicans. Never thought I'd say a kind word about any Cheney or Romney, but the rest of the crazies make Liz and Mitt look like superheroes.

How do we fire the people who are not doing their job and who are not full filling their oath to our constitution and to we theAmerican people who pay their salaries? 🐺 Wolf of Oregon
The deal I would make to support a Republican Speaker is: 1. MTG & Matt Gaetz removed from committee; 2. Jordan and Comers to be reassigned (no chairmanship); 3. Follow through with ethics on Santos, BoBo and Gaetz and expelled. 4. 1 bill on Ukraine, Israel and the southern border. That will be a great start back to normalcy without magats.

Shows who the adults are in the room.
When the country was formed, Ben Franklin embraced the idea of slow change because it allowed things to settle down and not act upon emotions. He also warned however, slow change could also result in grievances festering into a complete mess. We're now seeing that complete MAGA mess.
We need drastic change tho. America First. No aid to fascist states like Ukraine or Israel. It's as offensive as if a party was asking us to funded Russia and Palestine instead. Anyone supporting Israel or Ukraine aid is my enemy.
Why do they all screech when he has finished talking.
Chaotic, ridiculous system.
Control needed. The louder you shout the more likely you will be heard?
Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." That quote often comes up in the context of new technology and concerns about government surveillance. Benjamin Wittes, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and the editor of Lawfare, tells NPR's Robert Siegel that it wasn't originally meant to mean what people think.

I would LOVE if the Dems actually followed that reporters suggestions they all as a party vote for an relatively upstanding Republican during the floor vote and only a few brave Republicans would have to join for them to be able to resume work. It would really show that they meant what they say about looking for a bipartisan solution
No! the republicans will vote against a bill for no other reason than it was bought onto the floor by dems. Why should we bail them out while the world sees how incompetent they are. They don’t want congress in session because they have no policy to bring forward. So once again they choose the clown show… let them and their constituents deal with themselves. They are even trying to blame McCarthy’s ouster on dems, when they bought the bill onto the floor…
What's the point when Gaetz could simply pull his stunt again? And, why don't some Republicans vote for the upstanding Hakeem Jeffries who has so far pulled more votes for Speaker than any of the Republicans?
@@higgs923 I think it would be much harder for Gaetz to pull that off if Dems and Republicans picked a Republican they can agree on. They wouldn't have the votes since Democrats would have no incentive to vote with him, and it would make him look like even more of bad guy who just doesn't want the government to function.
@@vuviper They need to vacate the new rule Gaetz insisted upon that allows for only one member with an axe to grind to call a vote to vacate the Speakership. I think he did this to purposely tie everything up and create chaos. It won't matter who they choose as Speaker, as it will go back to square one again in short order.
Problem is for the GOP, they all look like complete fools with no concern about the American people. They act more like grade school playground bullies playing King of the Hill.
Democrats could certainly try that, but what they want more than anything are consessions for their assistance in selecting a speaker. They would have all the leverage in a negotiation with Republicans to elect a speaker and aren't willing to let that go for free.
The way Democrats see it, there are 2 choices for the Republicans:
1. Find a candidate that enough Republicans can agree on electing (this has not worked so far over the last 3 rounds of voting)
2. Come to the table and negotiate with Democrats on either a power sharing agreement or new House rules beneficial to Democrats in exchange for enough Democratic votes to elect a speaker.
Democrats say they're doing everything for the American people, but they're also looking out for themselves. I can't blame them for that though, considering Republicans have proven themselves unable or unwilling to govern.
Deficits DONT Matter.....Until THEY DO
It is good to see the Democrats elevating younger members of their caucus to positions of public prominence.
They have so many really smart , young Democrats in Congress. I have never in my lifetime seen such a difference in ability between the gop and the Democrats. I want our Republic to stand, and the gop tribe are doing everything they can to destroy it. Why?????? Who is paying them off?
Leader Jeffries for Speaker to bring us back together and lead us forward!!!❤❤❤❤
