Fresh faces stay: Democrats lock in House leadership team after private vote
Democrats in Congress kept their existing leadership team through internal voting process this week. **Hakeem Jeffries** continues leading party trio despite staying in House minority position
In a closed-door meeting last tuesday‚ House Democrats re-affirmed their trust in the current leadership team. Hakeem Jeffries secured his position as minority leader — keeping his role despite the partyʼs non-majority status in Congress.
The top-tier Democratic trio includes Katherine Clark from Massachusetts (who serves as Democratic Whip) and Pete Aguilar representing California as Democratic Caucus Chairman; both got re-elected to their posts through private ballot-casting. This next-gen leadership group continues steering the partys direction in the lower chamber
