LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Brooklyn, NY - Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz are remarkable public servants who ran an inspired and positive campaign focused on lifting people up. We look forward to our continued partnership on behalf of the American people in the next chapter of their public service journey.

It has yet to be decided who will control the House of Representatives in the 119th Congress. We must count every vote and wait until the results in Oregon, Arizona and California are clear.

I am proud that the Democratic Party does not believe in election denial. Our Democracy is precious and it involves elevating public trust in our system of free and fair elections, not undermining it.

We cannot love America only when we win.

The American people have spoken. I congratulate President-elect Donald J. Trump.
