House Leader Hakeem Jeffries won reelection Tuesday as the Democratic leader. The New York Democrat received support from his colleagues despite the party’s inability to win back majority control of the chamber in the November election.

The Democratic Party appears to have lost its supermajority in the Colorado House of Representatives. The Republican Party appears to have flipped three seats in the general election earlier this month.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries unanimously won re-election as leader of the Democrats in the lower chamber Tuesday, with the party set to be in the minority for another two years while losing control of the Senate and White House in this month's elections.

House Democrats voted Tuesday to keep their top leadership team in place, voicing overwhelming confidence in Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and his top deputies exactly two weeks after a disappointing Election Day relegated them to the minority for another two years.
