[Webster]

(The Guardian) Hakeem Jeffries elected as new House Democratic leader
House Democrats just officially elected Hakeem Jeffries as House minority leader, making him the most powerful Democrat in the House.

Jeffries is the first Black congressional leader in history. At 52, he is 31 years younger than former leader Nancy Pelosi and 20 years younger than his counterpart in the Senate, the majority leader, Chuck Schumer.

House Democrats have been voting for their new leaders in a closed-door session. Jeffries, who was formerly caucus chair, ran unopposed.
