House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) has warned that the "ghost of the Confederacy" is still haunting America and that Democrats will do all they can to take back the House. He decried the Republican-led redistricting efforts ahead of November's elections, calling them an "unprecedented assault on Black political representation". Jeffries also promised a decisive response to ensure fair elections in the upcoming midterms and the 2028 presidential race.
