In response to DNC Vice Chairman David Hogg’s latest comments, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said his focus remains on targeting Republican incumbents, not established Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections.
“Here’s the thing,” Jeffries told Jonathan Karl on ABC’s This Week. “I’m gonna really focus on trying to defeat Republican incumbents so we can take back control of the House of Representatives and begin the process of ending this national nightmare that’s being visited upon us by far-right extremism.”
Jeffries’s comment comes as Hogg shared he intends to use his organization, Leaders We Deserve, to spend $20 million to fund younger Democratic candidates running against incumbents in safe blue districts.
