Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing New York. The House minority leader defeated Republican John Delaney for a seat representing part of Brooklyn. Jeffries, who has been in office since 2013, became the first African American to lead a political party in Congress when House Democrats picked him to succeed Nancy Pelosi in 2022. Jeffries is seen as likely to become the House speaker if Democrats reclaim a majority in the chamber.
