@pbsnews: Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York has been chosen to lead the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives during the 118th Congress. Jeffries will become the first Black Congressional leader of a political party after Speaker Nancy Pelosi stepped down from Democratic leadership with Republicans set to take narrow control of the chamber in January. #jeffries #hakeem #hakeemjeffries #housespeakernancypelosi #housespeaker #first #historical #historic #congressional #congressionalleadership #pbs #news #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #black #blackfirst
