Endorsements section
This seems like a list of trivia that was temporarily relevant, but no longer really is. I am inclined to simply cut it, and if anyone wants to add a few tidbits back in other chronological sections of the article, that could make sense. Thoughts? Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:58, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
- Having looked at it a bit yesterday, I am sure it can be cut down. Maybe we keep his 2007 endorsement of Obama, but the others seem more run of the mill. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:10, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
Is it right to call Jeffries Minority Leader?
The election for Speaker hasn't finished yet, and the Majority and Minority aren't officially chosen until after the election for Speaker. MacDoesWiki (talk) 04:54, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- The Democrats are in the minority regardless of the election for Speaker. The 2022 House elections decided that. Ved havet 🌊 (talk) 17:52, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- Given that we don't know how this will play out, I think he's just the "Democratic leader". He could become speaker! Crazier things have happened. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:01, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Jeffries is, and, unless he become Speaker (an extremely remote possibility at best), will remain the House Minority Leader. Drdpw (talk) 18:27, 4 January 2023 (UTC)- Do sources call him "minority leader"? CNN says he is "poised to become", but WP:CRYSTAL applies. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:36, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- Some are. Drdpw (talk) 18:39, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- Jeffries will most certainly lead the minority party once the prolonged speaker election concludes (unless he become Speaker, an extremely remote possibility at best). But he will not officially become the House Minority Leader until the House is organized. Right now he is only Minority Leader Designate. Drdpw (talk) 18:39, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

- The Democrats elected Jeffries to be their leader in the House & since the Democrats are the minority party in 118th US Congress? That makes Jeffries the "House Minority Leader". If he (unlikely) gets elected Speaker? then his brief tenure as House Minority Leader will end. GoodDay (talk) 19:38, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Note - The House doesn't elect the party floor leaders, whips, etc. It's the parties among themselves that chose their own floor leaders, whips etc. GoodDay (talk) 19:54, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Alphabet speech
I notice that Jeffries' "Alphabet speech" got a lot of coverage: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=speaker+of+the+house+alphabet+speech&atb=v329-1&t=chromentp&ia=web
Perhaps it's worth mentioning even though it's just one event. ~Anachronist (talk) 15:00, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- he also knows signing. Someone get him a laser pointer. If you make him put his hands in his pockets can he talk? 2600:1004:B111:5631:23:E808:B376:8BA0 (talk) 00:07, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Hakeem Jeffries
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Hakeem Jeffries's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "generalresults":
- From Kelly Armstrong: "Unofficial 2022 General Election Results". North Dakota Secretary of State. November 8, 2022. Retrieved November 13, 2022.
- From 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in New York: "2022 General Election Results — Certified December 15, 2022". New York State Board of Elections. Archived from the original on December 30, 2022. Retrieved December 30, 2022.
- From Ryan Zinke: "2022 GENERAL ELECTION - UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE". Secretary of State of Montana. November 8, 2022. Archived from the original on June 3, 2020. Retrieved November 14, 2022.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:53, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Congressional Progressive Caucus
Jeffries is no longer listed as a member. Check their website. User keeps listing him as a member. 73.29.10.120 (talk) 18:36, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed; unless someone has an updated source confirming membership after Rep. Jeffries became House Minority Leader, please do not add this reference. Page is now supported & monitored by WP:AmPol. Wispinn (talk) 22:07, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
Bias
Jeffries is noted for his ability to work with Democrats across the caucus and Republicans on shared goals. Considered a centrist, he has said he is willing to work with Republicans "whenever possible, but we will also push back against extremism whenever necessary." - this part is extremely biased and subjective, and there are no links pinned.
