House democrats has been answered. By our nominee for speaker, the gentleman from brooklyn, the leader of our House Democratic caucus, the honorable Hakeem Jeffries [ applause ] leader jeffries has answered our call, but the majoritys nominee is disconnected. Disconnected from the American People and their values. Maga extremism is designed to divide. And it has broken the republican party. Their nominees vision is a direct attack on the freedom and the rights of the American People. And hes got the record to prove it. The republican nominee has voted against healthcare for children, for veterans, even for 9 11 survivors. He has opposed lowering the cost of insulin repeatedly. He wants to cut Social Security and medicare. Dont take it from me, it was raised on the other side of the aisle, just this week, as a Selling Point to make him speaker. Over his 16 years in the house, the republican nominee has never supported a farm bill. What does that mean . What does that mean . It means he
Well, the unanimous call of 212 House Democrats has been answered by our nominee for speaker, the gentleman from brooklyn, the leader of our House Democratic caucus, the honorable Hakeem Jeffries. [cheers and applause] leader jeffries has answered our call but the majoritys nominee is disconnected, disconnected from the American People and their values. Maga extremism is designed to divide and it has broken the republican party. Their nominees vision is a direct attack on the freedom and the rights of the American People and he has got the record to prove it.

Im Ana Cabrera Reporting alongside my colleague and friend jose diazbalart for more continuing special coverage. And we begin with some Breaking News from capitol hill. The house about to gavel into session preparing to hold a third vote for speaker.

Republicans right now who are trying to figure out which is the direction to go. They dont know if they want to maybe put a resolution on the floor to empower Patrick Mchenry. Right now ji
