House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries emerged from an all-hands caucus meeting on Tuesday to inform the media the Dems will “definitively” vote in lockstep against delaying or tabling credibly suspected sex trafficker and statutory rapist Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz’s motion to vacate against titular Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman reports.
“House Democrats will continue to put people over politics and hopefully find some common ground with a reasonable set of Republicans who are committed to breaking from their extremist colleagues and doing the right thing by the American people,” Jeffries said to reporters after the meeting.
