The difference between the man likely to be the next House speaker, Kevin McCarthy, and the likely House minority leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), could not be greater. Hakeem Jeffries will lead. McCarthy will be an embarrassment to the role as he continues to bend to the will of the worst of the GOP.

Hakeem Jeffries will lead. McCarthy will follow.

The likely Democratic leader will have the advantage in the coming session.

@Exoticgamora Absolutely. He's as cowardly as they come. No backbone, no honor & zero leadership skills. I guess in a way he's perfect for them. He'll continue in the grand tradition of GOP speakers to talk alot & produce little.
@Exoticgamora contrast between the parties has never been wider!! Good vs evil, light vs darkness....
@pburton So true. I wish we could see and end in sight to this division, but it's not out there, yet.
@Exoticgamora I'm loving that my NY is doubly represented!! McCarthy is NOT prepared n I'm 100% here for it.
@Exoticgamora McCarthy will go down as one of the worst Speakers in modern history. Mainly because he’s encouraged the craziness, without whipping his caucus in line. In 2024 Democrats will win back the House and McCarthy will retire from Congress. A shell of what he once was.
@fjwheeler I hope you are right. That would be a beautiful end to McCarthy 😆
@Exoticgamora not that I can stand him, but Trent Lott once said Congress was like herding cats, very difficult to do. I don’t think McCarthy can control Greene and Gossar.
