jeffries. mr. jeffries: second row. reporter: one of the things that you just brought up is working across the aisle in order to make things work at the end of the day, but in this past year, it's not just a problem working with the other side of the aisle, but members in your caucus. one of the things we heard earlier was one of the key factors is making sure members can all agree. would you be able to guarantee that going forward when you have legislation and moderate democrats aren't agreeing what progressive democrats are doing. mr. jeffries: we all share the same approach. everybody matters. new deems, blue caution, east, south, west, and center, center left, everybody matters. that's what makes the house democratic caucus the most authentic representatives of the american people. sometimes he we can have noisy conversations, but as we showed time and time again after issue after issue after issue, at the end of the day, we always come together and find the highest common denominator and get things done for every d

now stepping aside for a new generation of leaders, hakeem jeffrys, katherine clark. >> hakeem jeffriesade clear he believes the republicans' time in the majority will be short lived. >> we seek to find common ground whenever and wherever possible. and we hope that our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, as they temporarily inherit the majority in the next congress, are willing to proceed with that same spirit of cooperation, fortitude and mission centered focus to get things done for everyday americans. >> reporter: that key line, temporarily inherit the majority. the democratic leadership task no doubt will be this. taking back the majority in 2024. they believe they have a serious chance of doing that, given the narrow majorities in the house and the new congress. that will be the task of the democrats. they'll be aided by the fact that there's a senate led by democrats and a democrat in the white house. but they'll be the minority party. >> on the future majority side, the house leadership fight is not settled. it's not a fore gone conclusion that kevin mccarthy will be speak

hakeem jeffries can learn a lot. it takes trust building within the caucus and then as you said his relationship with president biden. nancy pelosi and biden have been friends and colleagues and co-workers for a very, very long time. rebuilding that kind of from scratch, especially when jeffries and biden see things different. we talked about the generational differences in age. he is the same age as nancy pelosi and the outgoing folks. that's one thing he will have to deal with. i think this white house and the house democrats feel like they have to stick together, because they know they will be battling house republicans. i see them kind of working quickly to create that relationship. >> in some ways it's easier to stick together in the minority, when you are not responsible for pulling together the votes on some of the big things. brendan, the house democrats, whatever challenges hakeem jeffries might face, this looks harmonious compared to the top of the republican party. we have seen more fallout from former pre

of my career, but mil country is alike and its my job to shed light on how and why ah, how came jeffries is elected leader of the democrats in the us house of representatives, the 1st black person to lead a major political party in congress. ah, the bucket, this is al jazeera live from london, also coming up another religious school targeted northern afghanistan. at least 15 people have been killed. most of them students the breakthrough drug is shown to slow the progression of cognitive decline and outside is patience. and to the world comp, soccer bruce or into the knockout stage is matthew lucky is the hero was australia sees often mo, to for the 2nd. ah, i came, jeffrey's has been elected as the new democratic leader of the us house of representatives . he's the 1st black person to hold the role. jeffries will take over from nancy pelosi, who served for 19 years he takes on the leadership at a critical time for the democrats who lost their house majority in the mid term elections. at 52 years old jeffries is relatively young, 6 years younger than the average age of those sitting in t

for the democrats, jeffries is the only candidate for minority leader.ublicans are trying to define jeffries. >> he's even further to the left than nancy pelosi and that the problem with the democrat party. >> some liberals blast jeffries as too close to wall street. he's also had differences with the squad. house speaker nancy pelosi formallerly blessed jeffries as her successor. pelosi is staying on board as a rank and feel member. one democrat expressed concern that if she's not careful, some could perceive pelosi as a congressional helicopter parent. jason? >> chad, thanker you. the front runner to be the this next house democratic minority leader is hakeem jeffries as chad is said. he's also an election denier and conspiracy theorist. he called the 2016 results illegitimate and floated the idea that trump was a fake president. i want to start with you because there's obviously changes like nancy pelosi's been in charge the democrats en the house for nearly 20 years. huh cook is a jeffries i knew him, i served with him, i did some builds with him. i

beyond hakim jeffries. the number two catherine clark from massachusetts, she is someone who's seen as a likely person to run for the whip position. also pete aguilar whoo, a member from california. those three members are seen as sort of a team that may run as sort of a bloc, if you will. they have been talking to members, seeing if they can get the support to eventually move up. but what happens to steny hoyer? what happens to jim clyburn who's currently a member of leadership? clyburn told me earlier this week that he would not run for the top position but wants a position in leadership. so what does that mean for the other positions here? it is not just a game of chess. it is also significant because people in power will drive their strategy, their party, their policy priorities, and could potentially bring them back to power in 2024 when democrats will have a shot to regain the majority. but this moment, historic. the first woman house speaker stepping aside after two decades as the most prominent, mos

now hakeem jeffries will succeed her.op party leadership in the house. this would represent a generational shift of leadership. now, how might the democratic party look different under mr. jeffries? >> first and foremost, rev., he is a young guy. i think that's a good thing for the party. it's joe biden's birthday. i'm sure we'll talk about that. he became an octogenarian today. hakeem jeffries is almost half of the presidents age. that's really good for the democrats to put young leadership is as the host to utah. someone's going to bring a lot of vigor into this job. anyone who has followed jeffries knows this. he is a powerful figure. he is a force to be reckoned with. he has two qualities that you know, rev, he needs to be a minority leader in the house. he can unify the various factions of the democratic caucus, the progressives all the way to the moderates. and he is a fighter. and that's what they're going to need. i've worked in the minority before on the republican side. when you're in the minority, you have to b

i think progressives view jeffries as kind of a wall street guy, kind of a corporate democrat, to use reporter: now, nancy pelosi just gave the green light to jeff's. katherine clark for whip and pete aguilar as caucus chair. senate majority lead leader schumer is back next year, with schumer and jeffries, that means the top democrats in congress are both from brooklyn. david: okay. brooklyn's a good place. joining me now is "wall street journal" congressional reporter natalie anders. natalie, thanks for being here. we've got about a month and a half to go before the republicans take the majority in congress. i'm just wondering to what exe extent -- extent are we going to have this mad rush of bills, kind of the quick and dirty sort of bills the that you do in a hurry before the republicans take over? >> we are watching a but things. i talked to joe manchin this week. he thinks, he still thinks he can get permitting reform over the finish line which would be emergency. the senate does plan to take up and pass gay marriage as soon as they get back, codifying same-sex marriage. but we'l

we said at the top, the democrats seem to be coalescing around hakeem jeffries, he was in front of camerae minutes ago, and i want to play this, he is trying to make the day not about him but about to be soon to be former house speaker pelosi. take a listen. >> it is speaker pelosi that we're -- we'll see what happens as we move forward. >> when do you plan to announce your intention? >> not at the moment. >> jake sherman, clearly walking from there to the camera and how do we expect the picture to come clear as it relates to who will be the leader, who will have control of the democratic conference in the house next year? >> yes, it's clear that hakeem jeffries is the likely next choice to be elevated to the top of the democratic caucus. but at the same time, you're right, he's book very, trying very hard to shall defertial to the former speaker because of the reference and respect in this caucus for her, having 20 years of leadership experience and serving in the house, for even longer than that. this is truly the mark of a sea change, and it comes as democrats have expected frankly to

i think that hakeem jeffries is the perfect person to come after and see pelosi.e. the way that he can communicate messages to the american people. the way that he has the ability to organize. i have watched. you know, now being one of the scene members of congress, sometimes you get to sit back and observe. i watched him on the house floor, for example, talking to members, members coming to him. him resolving issues that they may have and getting people to work together. i watched him when he was dealing with criminal justice reform and appropriate sentencing for individuals who are incarcerated. to make sure that they were not, those that were forcibly incarcerated, others, i've watched him work together. even with republicans to get things done. i think that you will also see that he is perfectly fit because he is the individual that can, you know, some will call him, you know, you can relate to the hip-hop generation, which is right below him. as well as an older generation. my generation, your generation. older, he again can bring the democratic caucus togeth

i came, jeffries is poised to succeed. nancy pelosi is democratic leader in the us house of representatives. he will be the 1st black person to lead a major part in congress and researchers. haley breakthrough in the treatment of the early stages of alzheimer's. ah, at least 15 people been killed in a bombing in northern afghanistan. this happened that a religious school in a back, the capital of some mangan province, at least 20 others were wounded. the interior affairs ministry says students are among the dead. no group has claimed responsibility for this. there have been a number of attacks and i've can't stand since the taliban take over, including the bombing of a mosque in the northern conduce province in october, last year or at least 60 people were killed. days later, another mosque was targeted this time in kandahar the death told their past 65 that in april a secondary school in cobble was rocked by 3 explosions. 6 died, dozens more were injured. many of them were teenagers. 2 days later, i so claimed responsibil

who is hecky jeffries. that is a name that we will have to be saying for a long time, cyril, as he is now, the new leader of the democrats in the house of representatives. he is a 52 year old congressman from new york. he describes himself as a pro progressive black representative, and he has strong ties with a democratic establishment as well. this is a moment that had long been seen coming. jeffries had been serving in another leadership role in the u. s. house since 2019 and his election that just happened minutes ago was unanimous and not only with his ascension, but also the number 2 and number 3 spots of house leadership. this is a new face of the democratic leadership in the house we're seeing. they are younger, they are more more diverse, pete angular, a member of the hispanic caucus. he will be serving as the new house caucus chair. and this is a major shift to given that they're the people they are replacing. are 3 octogenarians of course, led by none other than how speaker nancy pelosi, who annou

jeffries is breaking a barrier that's been up for centuries in congress. this isn't just symbolic, though. how is he going to reshape things for house democrats? >> reporter: it is definitely a new era for house democrats. aside from being the first black leader of any party, he's also going to be the youngest leader at age 52. it doesn't sound that young, but around here it is compared previous leadership. giving more opportunities to be involved in writing bills and to give them more opportunities for high-profile positions. that obviously is a nod to some of the frustrations that have pent up in the democratic party for many years. but a big part of jeffries' job as minority leader is going to be beating back against the gop investigations and potential impeachment proceedings into president joe biden's administration. he doesn't have a good working relationship, if at all, with kevin mccarthy who is in line to become speaker next year. they've had somewhat of a contentious relationship in the press. we'll see how that plays out. there will be moments w

hakeem jeffries, coming in, unlike speaker pelosi, he does not come from a political dynasty.ter of brooklyn. and he brings all of that with him, which i think is a huge plus. not too many people can be on the four of the house and -- and he does it so well, right? so, to your previous question, i do think that we are going to see republicans overreaching on these investigations and losing side of what the american people want. we've seen incredible progress the last couple of years, the most progress since algae -- so i think that they want more progress, the american people, and they are going to focus on these bs investigations, and i think that jeffries, or whoever the leader is is going to be able to push back on that. >> i mean, it is an interesting dynamic. i cannot wait to watch, report, and talk about it. i want to shift to the senate, okay, eugene? because all eyes are on the georgia senate runoff. you have got herschel walker, republican facing off against incumbent senator raphael warnock, and a county judge has recently ruled that state law does not bar early voti

jeffries is much more message disciplined than the speaker was.lse on capitol hill. he has to develop that and does have a lot of support within the caucus. this is the minority. being the house minority you are an opposition force. not trying to put together an agenda and keep the caucus together. he has the advantage of a democratic senate to stop bills and the house republicans pass. a democrat in the house to veto bills so he has -- this is a learning experience and not as much responsibility. >> pelosi is staying on in the congress which i guess some people interpreted as a c condescension. she is a lightning rod on the right and a hero on the left. with her being gone republicans don't have anybody -- maybe still vilify her but jeffries is perhaps not the same figure. >> they believe able to do that to nancy pelosi as a san francisco liberal. she is also a woman so it's sort of easier in that way. he is a black plan from new york. i imagine the vilify case writes itself and will see lots of that but it is interesting. this is nancy pelosi su

congressman jeffries is running unopposed for the top job.n addition to being 30 years ago younger than nancy pelosi, he's be the first black person to lead a political party in the u.s. congress. a former brooklyn lawyer and song of a social worker and substance abuse counselor, jeffries took office in 2013 and allied himself with pelosi and nominated her for speaker in the last congress. >> let me be clear, house democrats are down with ndp. >> jeffries will be without question the first congressional leader to ever paraphrase naughty by nature on the floor of the house, and he joins me exclusively. congressman, thank you so much. congratulations on your announcement. i have to say i have never seen such a major transition from leaders to leaders so well choreographed with so little apparent rancor. how did this happen? what happened behind the scenes? >> first, let me just say good morning, jake, it's an honor to be with you, and it's an honor to stand on the shoulders of such an extraordinary group of leaders, jim clyburn, steny hoyer and

i spent time with hakeem jeffries last night on the eve of his ascension. it's clear that he's thinking about what this moment means for this caucus that has been hankering for new leadership for many years now, but also a moment of transition in his words because they're transitioning into the minority. this is a caucus that we've seen the range of them ideologically from the most progressive to the most moderate. but what he said at the end of the day nothing gives unity to a caucus like being in the minority. that's the message that he's putting out there as he rises into this leadership position. >> democrats bestowed nancy pelosi with the title of speaker emerita. tell us what's going to get done? >> i think it's a meaningful moment of transition and passing the torch from a leadership that was there when i first came to washington in 2006. our leadership was pelosi, hoyer and clyburn. to have this moment now where we're having a very seamless transition really compared to what's going on on the other side of the aisle is very meaningful and important

hakeem jeffries says we want to take back the majority.next election is a presidential election. if republicans want to protect the majority, again, legitimate oversight is needed in this town but is that what they want to do or can anybody convince them not to? >> i think the point you made earlier is the one that applies here is that in a world where kevin mccarthy only has that many votes he has to let all of these various elements of his conference to a certain extent do what they want to do because otherwise they can hold a lot over his head and that is going to potentially -- if these investigations go a certain way and there is a sense of overreach which is often hard to avoid in these kinds of situations that could very much endanger his majority from an electoral perspective. >> the majority is built on these -- on these republicans who are in plus biden districts. >> right. >> they may not be moderate, some are kind of moderate, some are conservative but got elected to districts that biden won. they know that they are in grave da

and so it will be hakeem jeffries and number two clark and three aguilar. but they have to be approved by the house democratic caucus and the secret ballot on november 30th. but right now they're all running unopposed. moments ago pramila jayapal said she would not run for leadership and continue staying in the democratic side and the progressive caucus. so no real drama at moment about these three leaders moving forward. the drama is on the republican side where kevin mccarthy is still trying to lockdown votes to become the next speaker of the house. he has a different calculation. he has to get a majority of the full house. 218 votes to get there. meaning he can't afford more than a handful of defections given the narrow majority. the other leaders on the democratic side, they only need to get a majority of their caucus. a much smaller threshold to overcome and they expect to do just that. but that is all expected to play out in the coming days. >> yeah, as we look for all of that. we also know the incoming oversight chair spoke to cnn about the committee

jeffries win election, he will be the first black man ever to lead a party in congress. majority whip congressman still wants to remain in leadership and tweeted his support for the group. he wrote in part, i look forward to doing whatever i can to assist our new generation of democratic leaders which i hope to be hakeem jeffries, katherine clark and pete aguilar. now republican -- had won control of the house about i a razor thin margin. the question now is how will they use that power? the answer came very swiftly. that they have learned relatively nothing from the election. and they're going to go full steam ahead on the maga agenda. "the new york times" offered this analysis. the only results that interests many in the house majority are those that inflict pill pain on mr. biden and congressional democrats as demanded by the maga constituents. in a closed door meeting of republicans on monday, right-wing lawmakers including representative marjorie taylor green of georgia extracted a promise that their leaders would investigate speaker nancy pelosi and the justice dep

how came jeffries has been elected as the new democratic leader of the us house of representatives? he's the 1st black person to hold the role. jeffries will take over from nancy pelosi, who so for 19 years he takes on the leadership at a critical time for the democrats who lost their house majority in the mid term elections are. hello c said she would be stepping down from her house speakership role in this new term after and democrats very narrowly lost their majority in after this last midterm election. and so this new, these new leaders coming in, we'll have quite the job, cut out for them. come january 3rd, when this new congress is sworn and given that they will no longer have the majority, they'll really be playing defense as their major role against a republican house majority. at least 15 people have been killed in the bombing in northern afghanistan. it happened at a religious school and i bach the capital of some on gun province. at least 20 people were injured. the interior, 1st ministry students were among the 3rd. no group has yet claim responsibility for the blast. ja

house democrats electing hakeem jeffries as head of the democratic caucus.irst black person to lead a major party in a chamber of congress. manu raju joins me now. what's the reaction on the hill to this vote? >> reporter: it has been expected. a smooth transition in the aftermath of nancy pelosi announcing a couple weeks ago she would step aside as the leader of the democratic caucus, a caulk she has dominated for the past two decades. hakeem jeffries has been a member for the past several years, viewed as the next -- democratic leader. steny hoyer opted not to run. neither did jim clyburn, who is the number three. instead, that paved the way for a new leadership team, marking a new generation of leaders. a younger crop of leaders. under hakeem jeffries will be katherine clark of massachusetts followed by her is pete aguilar as number three. there are leadership fights that will happen beneath them. but the top three members have been sorted out. as jeffries said today, he believes they are temporarily relinquishing the majority to the house republicans who

with hakeem jeffries and steny hoyer. there is a simple easy line of succession that she's orchestrated. that's how effective she is at everything she does. >> and a very diverse line of succession that she is orchestrating. so let's talk a little bit about, matthew, about, well, first of all, let's say, we were talking about this before, the people who are leaving from leadership are all in their 80s, right? so you had three people who have decided they're going to move on, now we have all three getting behind the same people to follow them in the footsteps. how big of a job is it? i mean we talk a lot about speaker, but when you look at the leadership overall, and the relationships that get built, and the shorthand that gets under way, what do you think the learning curve is for this group? >> well, the good news for somebody like hakeem and the others is they're going to be watching a complete disarray of the people that are actually becoming those in power and it gives them a window, and they have been watching at the

just who is a came jeffries? that's right, at least for the next 2 years, he will be a household name. jeffries just want election from his peers unanimously with house democrats voting to become the new leader of the democratic party within the u. s. house of representatives. he is a congressman from new york. he comes from brooklyn and he is proud of his roots. interestingly, he's been known to quote, the notorious b. i g, the rap artist, he even quoted him while serving as an impeachment manager in the 1st impeachment of former president donald trump. but he's also as self describe progressive with strong ties though, to establishment democrats. and he's one support unanimously new unanimously from both factions of the party and he is the face now. 6 a new generation of democratic leaders in the house, his number 2 and number 3 are also in their forties and fifties, and they represent a more diverse leadership group, as well. with pete argue are being from the hispanic caucus. of course, jeffries himself is a

this is something for queen jeffries to manage. it's gonna be a difficult task for him, but what kareem jeffries has frequently spoken out against some of the most progressive lawmakers. he's a pretty progressive lawmaker himself. it's not all the way in the, left and he's also spoken out against what he calls the performative nature of some segments of progressive politics these days. so that clash between jeffries and that world and the leadership world and the progressives will be something interesting to watch. >> i don't know. as complicated as that choreography is, i think most people watching these deliberations evolve would rather have a democratic accomplice that republican congress, that looks like a brutal path for anyone -- >> there is no doubt about that. if you look at what happened today, they swapped of three, that's it pelosi, jim clyburn for three. joaquin jeffries, catherine clark and pete aguilar. the republicans, kevin mccarthy has a treacherous, treacherous path to the speakership that nancy pelosi had similar

we also heard from hakeem jeffries in the letter, i want to read what he said.e must make sure that the perception of the democratic brand matches up with the reality that we do ashare value that unite the heartland and small town america. this undertaking will not be easy. we must show up early and in unexpected places texas will require the involvement of every single house democrat to be successful together we could make it happen. and again, he has the full support of house speaker nancy pelosi in so many democratic members that we spoke with yesterday. and worth noting, kate, that while speaker pelosi made history herself as the first and only woman to ever hold the gavel, he would be the first black leader for either party here on capitol hill. kate. >> more history in the making. it is good to see you. thank you. >>> joining me now cnn correspondent manu raju and cnn correspondent audi cornish, the host of the new podcast calls the assignment. manu, the new democratic house leadership, how do you -- how do you see this taking shape? we see who the lead ca
