US: No Changes In Core Leadership Team Expected In House Democrat Elections

US
USHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsNorth America

House Democrats will hold internal leadership elections today, with little change expected to the core leadership team. 

  • House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA), and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-NY) are all running unopposed despite Democrats' failure to recapture control of the House.
  • Punchbowl notes: “…rank-and-file lawmakers are largely pleased with their leaders, concluding that House Democrats did the best they could in a tough political environment. The anger and frustration from rank-and-file Democrats is aimed at the top of the ticket, not their own leaders.”
  • Craig Caplan at C-Span notes: "The key contested race is for Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC) chair, the House Democrats’ chief messenger, between current chair 5th term Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) and 1st term Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)."
  • There is also interest in the successor to outgoing Annie Kuster (D-NH) as chair of the Centre-left New Democrat Coalition, a group expected to wield more power in the Democrat caucus after a backlash to progressive influence. The Washington Examiner notes that Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL), current New Dems vice chairman for communications, will take on Rep. Sharice Davids (D-KS), vice chairwoman for new member services, for the role.
