If you haven't yet watched House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries intro speech, it's worth a view:
He's an impressive speaker, and clearly has earned the support of caucus. Democrats are in good hands.

This was the 1st time #McCarthy’s vote total exceeded #Jeffries’.
Jeffries 211 (1 absent Dem); McCarthy 213.
Which sucks for those of us who dreamt of a #SpeakerJeffries.
Even if McCarthy wins, this #118th #HouseOfRepresentatives is going to be a freakin mess due to the numerous concessions he made.
