Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York.AP Photo/Amanda Andrade-Rhoades Hakeem Jeffries said there's "a real risk" the incoming House GOP majority is being "hijacked" by extremists. Jeffries, the incoming House Democratic leader, said Republicans have not laid out an economic plan. During his interview with CNN, Jeffries was relatively mum on his feelings about Kevin McCarthy. Incoming House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries in an interview published on Sunday said Republicans in the lower chamber have yet to lay out their plans for tackling the economic concerns of Americans, contending that the GOP is being "hijacked by the extremists" within the party whom he feels have become a larger slice of their caucus.During the interview with CNN, the New York lawmaker — who will succeed Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California as the leader of the House Democratic caucus in January 2023 — said that the incoming GOP majority so far has not presented a clear governing agenda."It's incredible to me that even at this point in time, as they're on their way temporarily into the majority, they have not articulated a vision for addressing the economic concerns of the American people," Jeffries told the news outlet."It's because there's a real risk that the incoming Republican majority is being hijacked by the extremists who have grown in ranks," he added.Jeffries — who is already planning ways to lead Democrats back to a majority in 2024 — has been a forceful GOP critic as the chair of the House Democratic Caucus, where he has sought to shape and convey the party's message.
