Rep. Hakeem Jeffries Delivers Powerful Speech at DNC, Calls for Unity to Elect Kamala Harris

U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, known for his Brooklyn roots and love for hip-hop, delivered a fiery speech at the Democratic National Convention, slamming Donald Trump and rallying support for Kamala Harris. Jeffries compared Trump to an ex-boyfriend who just won’t go away, emphasizing the need for a new leader who puts people over politics.

Describing Trump as a failed leader who prioritized the rich and undermined democracy, Jeffries highlighted the importance of electing Harris and Democrats in November. He outlined key Democratic policies, including lowering costs, combating climate change, and protecting healthcare and social security.

Jeffries’ speech, filled with poetic style and rap references, received thunderous applause from delegates. As Democrats nominate Harris as their first Black female and South Asian presidential candidate, they are hopeful of regaining control of the House and Senate.

If Democrats win back the House, Jeffries could become the first African-American speaker of the House. He urged voters to unite as Americans to elect Harris and continue the march towards a more perfect union.

In a powerful conclusion, Jeffries quoted lyrics from a Grammy-winning song, declaring, “Nothing can stop us. We’re all the way up!” With Harris and Democrats at the helm, the party aims to bring about positive change and lead the country towards a brighter future.
