Hakeem Jeffries: ‘We All Have to Come Together to Actually Push Back Against This Unprecedented Attack on Our Democracy’

JEFFRIES: "Well, we’re going to continue to defend every single house incumbent. Ultimately, however, it’s going to be up to the people. And that’s the reality of serving in the House of Representatives, the institution, the framers designed to be the closest to the American people. We have only two year employment contracts. We’ve got to go back to the people every other year, and everyone is going to have to make their case to the individuals that they’re privileged to represent, and that’s what they’ll continue to do. And I’ve indicated whether it’s a progressive incumbent, whether it’s a blue dog, whether it’s a new dem, I’m going to support members of the house democratic caucus, and then we all have to come together to actually push back against this unprecedented attack on our democracy, unprecedented attack on free and fair elections, and unprecedented attack on black representation in the American south and all across the country."
