One report framed the meeting as one in which Johnson was the subject of a “gang up” against him by McConnell and Democrats.

"I'll take that censure and I'll wear it next week, next month, next year like a badge of honor," Jeffries said during a speech.

House Democrats knew all of this, and yet they voted for Jeffries to be speaker. What does that say about them?

There was nothing subtle about Jeffries' message that Speaker Johnson was yet another adversity America must endure.

Republicans elected Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana to be the 56th speaker of the House of Representatives on Wednesday.

GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida argued Sunday that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is just a "frontman" for another Democrat.

"Do you think that there is an alternate here where Republicans work with Democrats to find a mutually acceptable speaker?"

Assuming that all 212 Democrats vote the same way -- and that all are present to vote -- only five Republicans would have to cross the aisle.

Hakeem Jeffries spouted some impressively false talking points while speaking about the economy under President Joe Biden.

This is going to make it hard for the Democrats to continue spouting one of their key talking points from the recent midterms.
