Description
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said voters chose affordability and "common sense" over extremism, and pledged that House Democrats would push for a change in direction starting on their first day in control.
"The American people have chosen the economy over extremism. The American people have chosen hope over hatred. The American people have chosen common sense over corruption, chaos, and cruelty. The American people have chosen House Democrats because they want to see a dramatic change in direction," he said at a news conference on Wednesday.
"And that's exactly what House Democrats will deliver, beginning on day one. We've promised to fight for an affordable America. And that's exactly what we will do. And we look forward to welcoming all of these extraordinary patriotic candidates who flipped seats all across the country. And we look forward to welcoming back our extraordinary battle ground incumbents, every single one of whom prevailed unlike anything we've ever really seen in a midterm election
in modern American history," he added.
