@cspanofficial: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) on Wednesday called Democrats' historic gains in the midterm elections "an American tsunami." "Mike Johnson was correct. The polls were wrong. It wasn't simply a blue wave. It was an American tsunami. House Democrats have decisively taken back control of the Congress," he said. The Democratic leader, who stands to become the nation's first Black speaker of the House in January, predicted Democrats would win at least 255 seats in the 435-seat chamber, calling it a "great victory for the American people." "The American people have chosen the economy over extremism. The American people have chosen hope over hatred. The American people have chosen commonsense over corruption, chaos and cruelty," he said. "The American people have chosen House Democrats because they want to see a dramatic change in direction, and that's exactly what House Democrats will deliver beginning on day one." #jeffries #house #midterms #democrats #cspan
