Dem Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries calls Biden the ‘big and clear winner’ in the midterms

Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries said he is all in for President Biden to run for reelection in 2024.

Mr. Jeffries, New York Democrat, said the party’s ability to hold onto vulnerable seats in last week’s midterm election despite what was supposed to be a bullish year for Republicans demonstrates Mr. Biden’s popularity among voters.

“Joe Biden is a big and clear winner. Everyone said that President Biden’s agenda is too ambitious. He wasn’t elected to do all of these things. The American people will reject it. Everything that we’ve done is incredibly popular. Our frontliners ran on that policy agenda, and so did our candidates.
