For the first time in U.S. history, the top ranks of House leadership for one party won’t include any white men
Tom Williams—CQ-Roll Call, Inc/Getty Images; Bill Clark—CQ-Roll Call, Inc/Getty Images as the first female Speaker of the House, she set the stage for another historic shift in American politics: for the first time in U.S. history, the top ranks of House leadership for one party won’t include any white men.
House Democrats are set to vote on their new leaders on Wednesday. The predicted ascendancy of Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, and Pete Aguilar of California to House Democratic leader, whip, and caucus chair respectively will revamp the face of a body that has historically been controlled by old white men. And it will mark the first time ever for either party in either chamber of Congress to have no white men in any of the top leadership positions.
The expected new Democratic leaders come from very different backgrounds, but all have years of leadership experience in Congress, and experts say their rise demonstrates how the women and people of color have finally had the time to build institutional power in the House.
