Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of NY: ‘We can win’ with Biden-Harris ticket
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Friday he’s confident Democrats can win with Joe Biden leading their ticket in November, offering the embattled president a show of support while a growing contingent of his party pushes him to leave the race." as the future of Biden’s reelection bid remains uncertain — with a wave of media reports Thursday suggesting the president was beginning to consider an exit.
Jeffries has been relatively tight-lipped — at least in public — about Biden’s electoral prospects since the debate three weeks ago. He and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, also of New York, had private meetings with the president last week.He told Lehrer that Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, as a ticket, have “an incredible track record of support throughout the country based on what we’ve been able to accomplish to date.
And should his party win control of the U.S. House of Representatives this November, Jeffries would be in line to become speaker.
