A day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she plans to step down from party leadership, New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries announced his bid to run for House minority leader for the 118th Congress.
"Time and again, throughout a period of enormous turmoil for our nation, House Democrats rose to the occasion," Jeffries wrote in a letter to his colleagues. "Today, I write to humbly ask for your support for the position of House Democratic Leader as we once again prepare to meet the moment."
