AOC To Beat Hakeem Jeffries, Become House Leader As Democrats Win Majority In Midterms?| Congress

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced questions about Democratic leadership following the party's historic midterm election gains, including whether she would challenge House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. AOC said Jeffries was the only candidate in the race and stressed that Democrats should focus on delivering results rather than discussing the next election. She also weighed in on calls for Senate leadership change, addressed speculation surrounding 2028, and criticised Donald Trump's immigration policies, questioning his decision to appoint Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff.
