There's nothing honorable about Hakeem Jefferies. His title is a lie.
Jeff did crap for New York
Ditch Mitch and this sob and network
The hold up is because they don't want McCarthy, he has the most money of all republican nominees. He is the guy who best serves corporate interests, the few that object to it are actually doing good.
Democrats like Joe Biden supporters, love to pander to rich people. Jimmy dore was right, forcing the vote means discussion of what we as a party bring to the table
Yah, let’s enroll this time democracy.
It is refreshing to hear an adult speak.
If you really care about the backstabbing, Dems could vote for McCarthy. That would certainly fix it.
You don't care though.
He'd make a great speaker
👍👍👍
What’s up with Budget Obama
These ignorant comments are typical of NBC viewers.
kevin committed treason, HE should be in prison!
Democrats are super corrupt. Praise Jesus Christ!
If there is any backstabbing it's with Hakeem Jeffries! A wannabe Muslim intellectual Demorat propagandist left winger political hack . . .
Power grab " political shenanigans"
Nope. Let them fight. I know it's not good for the country but they've spent too much time defending Trump and promoting investigations when they gained control rather than develop a party platform. That's where the rubber has met the road… and leaving skid marks.
the gop obama.
Backstabbing is all the GQP understands. They've done it to the American people for so long they're now doing it to themselves.
Can't wait to hear "Speaker Jeffries"
APOCALYPSE CHAPTER 6🏹🇵🇰🏹
Those 20 are Never McCarthy because they do not trust him.
And why should they?
The American people KNOW he's a liar.
He's lied so often we can play his lies back to back for days.
I'm more surprised that so many Republicans do trust him!😳
He's a wishy-washy liar and if they support him that is who they are too.🤷♀️
Congress hasn't worked in 2 years, why all of a sudden is Jefferies ready now?
Nocaming
They all want to show there so called power, and it leads to total gridlock.
Grow up- we’re waiting.
Yours-
Planet Earth 🇺🇸🇺🇳✌️
Don't tell me—-black is good and white is bad????????????????
Color of skin is Everything??
this man is what we need
Thank you Jeffries. But no thank you ! Republicans should make up their mind and elect someone as speaker from Republican party.
The GOP, the new modern joke since 2016. Thanks for proving the liberals and the left 100% correct.
Buckle up- because when these fools do pick a leader, ant nothing getting done. The GOP has become the party of due nothing.
This is exactly why Jeffries needs to be the speaker. He’s well respected in his caucus , tough , smart and willing to work with the other side . This could be a very productive House of Representatives if they go with Jeffries.
Democrats aren't capable of wiping their own butts, much less making promises about "Working"! Jeffries, quit lying!
Please Democrats stop, The Republican party in Congress has no intentions of working you with on anything, And by coming out here and telling them to pick a house speaker all you're doing is just playing to the crowd Don't waste your time they're going to do nothing but try to investigate the Democrats and Biden and disagree with everything else you say and push the border wall.
Just put Trump In!!!!
The only backstabbing is this INCOMPETENT administration on the American people
"Backstabbing" is one of the few things that Republicans do well.
