JOINT DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP STATEMENT ON RULE VOTE

September 1, 2026

Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar released the following statement:

“The decision by two of our colleagues to blindside the entire House Democratic Caucus and join with the Republican majority to pass a procedural rule on the brink of failing represents a significant breach of trust. It is an action that necessitates a serious response, and we have asked the Committee on Caucus Rules to take this up in short order.”

LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON REPUBLICAN VOTER SUPPRESSION LEGISLATION

September 1, 2026

Press Release

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

House Republicans continue to desperately push toxic voter suppression legislation instead of working to make life more affordable for everyday Americans in the midst of a searing cost-of-living crisis. House Resolution 1490 explicitly calls for enactment of the so-called SAVE America Act, which is the top legislative priority of far-right extremists. Accordingly, I will vote No on the latest MAGA effort to rig the midterm elections.
