Katherine Clark

And Democrats are standing firm in their refusal to bail out House Republican majority as it struggles to elect a new speaker 10 days after booting Rep Kevin McCarthy.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said, and I quote, "House Republicans have selected as their nominee to be Speaker of the People's House the chairman of the Chaos Caucus, a defender in a dangerous way of dysfunction and an extremist extraordinaire." And House Minority Whip Katherine Clark labeled Jordan as insurrectionist and said he would be on a glide path to becoming speaker if not for the unified opposition of Democrats.

Now, Jim Jordan has called for a speaker vote tomorrow at noon Eastern, so grab a snack, tune in, get the popcorn, or better yet, pack a lunch.

It's gonna be a long day.

They don't do it by and large, just, and the higher up you go, the worse it gets.

Uh, you know, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, they're just never gonna do that.

And so that realization that we need new people.

I talk about the...

You know, um, and I, and I just hope that, like, politically we can make that case effective because what Greg said, you know, we have politicians, "Oh, it's Massachusetts." Not everyone...

Like, uh, your, um, Greg, your representative out there in Congress, Katherine Clark, I don't think she's still signed on.

I know she's the House minority whip, but-

Mm

That's right.

And, and it, it can do both.

It, we, like Chris and I should be at Katherine Clark's office.

But also y- just half of that you need someone that can walk...

It was just months ahead of the 2022 midterm elections when they raided President Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

And the day after the raid, Hakeem Jeffries said, "No one is above the law." And in the weeks that followed, he used that line over and over again and stated that, "While extraordinary, the raid appeared to be justified." Katherine Clark, another one who's all up in arms today, eight days after the FBI swarmed Mar-a-Lago, she defended the raid, and she said, "This was a legal search warrant signed off by a federal judge." Hmm, that's true in Ilhan Omar's case as well.

She said that Republicans were playing a dangerous game by condemning the raid of Mar-a-Lago.

And she said they, they needed to wait and see what this investigation turns into.

He said the search appeared to break with that, though the practice cannot actually be enforced.

Democratic leaders Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, called the raid deeply disturbing.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said Trump was abusing his power to go after political opponents weeks before an election.

Trump told reporters he had nothing to do with it.

So she says she's not going to be silenced.

In a joint statement, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, of course from New York, other members of House Democratic leadership, uh, team condemned the Trump administration for the action, right? And they, they say, "Now less than 30 days until the midterm election, his violent mass deportation machine has descended upon the home of a duly elected member of Congress and her family." J- Jeffries, House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, uh, added that the voters should be afforded transparency from the White House.

Of course, then we've got Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota.

He wrote on social media that he believes Trump is abusing his power to go after political opponents weeks before an election.
