新当选的110多名国会议员中不乏熟面孔。
部分“新生”议员虽已离开国会一段时间，如今仍将重返众议院。
包括即将就任的加利福尼亚州民主党众议员伊尔达·索利斯，她上一次担任国会议员还是在2009年，之后离职出任奥巴马总统的劳工部长。
即将就任的阿拉巴马州共和党众议员杰里·卡尔，去年初在初选中败给阿拉巴马州共和党众议员巴里·穆尔（后者如今将赴任参议院），随即离开国会山。

还有即将就任的伊利诺伊州民主党众议员梅利莎·比恩，她首次赢得众议院席位是在2004年，2010年落败，如今再度回归。
她给这些新议员的建议是什么？

“一定要找一位非常出色的日程安排人员，让他们安排好吃饭时间，因为你的工作人员会一整天都围着你转，”比恩说，“你就像橄榄球里被队员传来传去的球，一天过去，你饿极了。”
纽约州民主党众议员、众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯有望在明年1月就任众议院议长，但部分进步派议员正持抵制态度。比恩之前任职时是中间派，我问她左翼民主党人与中间派之间是否存在天然的分歧。
“（民主党人占的）多数席位已经相当统一了，”比恩回答。
“你觉得是媒体夸大了这种紧张局面吗？”我追问。
“我觉得本来就是夸大了，”比恩说，“但这是媒体的把戏，对吧？”
给新议员的总结建议就是：找个好的日程安排人员？做到了。确保有时间吃饭？做到了。还有，把问题归咎于媒体。
哈。
2026年中期选举中，极左激进派正挑战民主党建制派
不过说真的，确实有部分进步派议员不愿公开承诺支持杰弗里斯出任议长。这些新议员大多属于如今被称为“这个团体”的群体，有点像几年前的“小队”（激进派团体）。
他们对支持杰弗里斯一事守口如瓶。
他们正向这位纽约州民主党人及其他人士施压，要求获得立法层面的承诺。
“我们不是要否决投票，我们只是说还没决定。我们不会盲目支持任何事，”新泽西州民主党众议员亚当·哈马维说。
“我认为问题不在个人，而在议程，以及能真正反映美国人民优先事项的议程，”科罗拉多州民主党众议员梅拉特·基罗斯说，“关键是要确定什么样的优先事项、什么样的 floor 投票、什么样的计划，让我们能为美国人民期待我们落实的大胆变革而奋斗。”
“我认为我们需要讨论改善劳动人民的生活，帮助他们加入工会，”纽约州民主党众议员克莱尔·巴尔德斯说。
这里没有什么突破性的新动作。进步派民主党人赢了，民主党人大获全胜。“这个团体”想要展现自身实力，推动自身议程。

要不然，这些议员就得向各自的选民解释清楚。因此，一群议员不自动支持某位党内领袖候选人，这并不算特别反常。
他们在行使政治博弈，为代表的民众争取最好的结果。他们不能一上来就支持杰弗里斯，必须先争取到让步。
康涅狄格州民主党众议员乔·考特尼之前就目睹过这类博弈，当时加州民主党众议员、前众议院议长南希·佩洛西在选举后试图平息对其领导权的反对声音。
“我其实觉得这次的（抗议）力度比上次弱，”考特尼说，“我认为杰弗里斯在过去两年里做了出色的工作，让党内保持一致的方向，这可不容易。”
“毫无疑问，从管理角度来说，占据更大的多数席位，比维持微小多数要容易得多。这就是基本的数学逻辑，”康涅狄格州民主党众议员吉姆·海姆斯说。
“作为新议长，他需要做很多工作，确保倾听所有人的意见，做好管理。和之前只差四票就能获胜的情况相比，会容易很多。但管理民主党永远是个挑战。”
因此，尽管有不少关于进步派对杰弗里斯“不满”的讨论，但他们并没有提出议长人选的替代方案。坦白说，在当前的环境下，没人能击败杰弗里斯。
进步派不满哈基姆·杰弗里斯，称民主党不会“向特朗普报复”
“你总不能用没人来打败某人。我觉得这场‘竞选’目前就是这种情况，”考特尼说，同时给“竞选”加上了引号，“最糟糕的情况，就是像2023年那样开启本届国会，我们用了15轮投票才选出议长。”
这指的是众议院共和党人阻挠时任众议院议长、加利福尼亚州共和党众议员凯文·麦卡锡当选一事。
马里兰州民主党众议员格伦·艾维对进步派针对杰弗里斯的博弈感到困惑。
“有点奇怪，你带领球队打进超级碗，赢了30分，结果第二天就有人想解雇你。这有点让人费解，”艾维说。
进步派可能对杰弗里斯有不满，但要记住，民主党拿到多数席位，是因为他们拿下了原本支持共和党的选区。代表这些选区的民主党人知道，如果他们支持杰弗里斯，或与他决裂，选民可能会留意。

俄亥俄州民主党众议员唐·伦纳德似乎是最直言不讳的新议员之一，他从名不见经传的局面中胜出，击败了俄亥俄州共和党众议员迈克·凯里。伦纳德在Instagram上表示，民主党领袖“非常明确地”告诉他，如果他不支持杰弗里斯，党内高层会让他“日子不好过”，并确保他在下次选举中落败。
因此，左翼和中间派都有疑问。
我问杰弗里斯，进步派的质疑是出于真心，还是为了向他争取立法承诺的政治手段。
“我会努力和每一位议员沟通，讲讲过去两年我们共同取得的成就，以及未来两年我们可以携手实现的机遇，以此兑现美国人民在上周二以压倒性选票要求的重大变革，”杰弗里斯回答时没有正面回应。
“听起来你还没把一切敲定，是这样吗？”我追问。
杰弗里斯笑了。
“你觉得我没敲定选票吗？”他反问道。
“我在问你。你是算选票的人。你有足够的选票吗？是或不是？”我追问。
“咱们下周三见分晓吧，”杰弗里斯说。
我已经在节目中报道过，任何事都很难阻碍杰弗里斯当选议长。
众议院民主党人在新一届国会中很可能会拿到260个以上的席位。
在众议院议长选举中胜选所需的票数门槛是218票。很难想象杰弗里斯会失去42张选票，尤其是现在没人和他竞争。此外，他在民主党党团中只需拿到131票（即260的一半多一点）就能成为正式提名人。
话虽如此，民主党内确实存在分歧。
其中一些分歧是如此庞大的联盟内部自然会出现的。这并非媒体所解读的那种情况。
问题在于，当杰弗里斯在1月3日手握议长权杖时，他将如何管理这些立场各异的派系。

Hakeem Jeffries faces progressive holdouts but no rival as House speaker race takes shape
Members of ‘The Bloc’ say they are undecided and want legislative guarantees before backing the New York Democrat

Familiar faces populate the 110-plus new members of Congress.
A few “freshmen” are returning to the House. Even if they’ve been gone for a while.
There’s Rep.-elect Hilda Solis, D-Calif., who last served in Congress in 2009. She departed to become President Obama’s labor secretary.
Rep.-elect Jerry Carl, R-Ala., just left Capitol Hill early last year after losing a primary to Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., who is now moving to the Senate.
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY COULD EXPOSE THE LIMITS OF THE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA
And then there’s Rep.-elect Melissa Bean, D-Ill. She first won a seat in the House in 2004 and lost in 2010. Now, Bean is back.
Her advice to the rookies?

“Make sure you get a really good scheduler and that they schedule eating because your staff will run you all day long,” Bean said. “You’re kind of like the football that they pass from one staff member to the other. The whole day goes by, and you’re starving.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is on track to become House speaker in January. But some progressives are holding out. Bean was a moderate when she served before. Yours truly asked about the natural unease between left-wing Democrats and centrists.
“It’s a pretty united majority,” replied Bean.
“Do you think that’s overstated tension?” I followed up.
“I think it always is,” Bean answered. “But that’s a media thing, right?”
So to recap for new members: Get a good scheduler? Check. Make sure you have time to eat? Check. And, blame the press.
Ha.
MEET THE FAR-LEFT INSURGENTS WAGING WAR ON THE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT IN 2026 MIDTERMS
But, seriously, there are some progressives who aren’t willing to publicly commit to supporting Jeffries as speaker. Most of these incoming members comprise what’s now known as “The Bloc.” It’s kind of like “The Squad” some years ago.
And they’re not tipping their hand about Jeffries.
They’re trying to squeeze the New York Democrat and others for legislative guarantees.
“We’re not withholding votes. What we’re doing is saying we’re undecided. We’re not going to rubber-stamp anything,” said Rep.-elect Adam Hamawy, D-N.J.
“I don’t think it’s about the individual. It’s about the agenda and the agenda that actually reflects the priorities of the American people,” said Rep.-elect Melat Kiros, D-Colo. “It’s about what kind of priorities, what kind of floor votes, what kind of plan do we have to actually fight for the bold change the American people sent us here to do.”
“I think we need to be talking about improving the lives of working people and helping them join unions,” said Rep.-elect Claire Valdez, D-N.Y.
There’s nothing groundbreaking going on here. Progressive Democrats won. Democrats won big. The Bloc wants to flex its muscles and execute its agenda.

Otherwise, those members have explaining to do with their base. Thus, it’s not that extraordinary to have a group of members not automatically supporting someone for a leadership post.
They’re playing the political game to get the best deal for the people they represent. They can’t just back Jeffries out of the gate. They must first extract a concession.
Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn., witnessed these machinations before when former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., tried to manage dissent about her leadership after elections.
“I actually think it’s a weaker version [of protest] this time,” said Courtney. “I think [Jeffries] did a great job of keeping the caucus really marching in the same direction in the last two years. Which was not easy.”
“There’s no question that as a management matter, having a bigger majority is a lot easier than having a tiny majority. That’s just basic math,” said Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn.
“As a new speaker, he’s going to need to do a lot of work to make sure he is listening to everybody and managing. So, it’s going to be a lot easier than if it had been a four-vote majority. But managing Democrats is always a challenge.”
So, for all of the talk about “issues” progressives may have with Jeffries, they’re not offering up an alternative name for speaker. And, frankly, no one could beat Jeffries in this environment.
PROGRESSIVES FUME AT HAKEEM JEFFRIES FOR SAYING DEMOCRATS WON’T ‘GET EVEN’ WITH TRUMP
“You can’t beat somebody with nobody. And that’s kind of where I think this ‘race’ stands,” said Courtney, putting “race” in air quotes. “The worst thing that could happen is to start this Congress off like it happened in 2023, where we went through 15 ballots (before electing a speaker).”
That’s a reference to House Republicans stymieing the election of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md., appeared mystified at progressive machinations over Jeffries.
“It is kind of odd. You get a coach who takes his team to the Super Bowl. They win by 30 points, and then they got folks who want to fire him the next day. It’s a little hard to figure out,” said Ivey.
Progressives may express concerns about Jeffries. But remember that Democrats have the majority because they flipped deeply red districts. The Democrats who will represent those districts know that voters could note if they supported Jeffries — or broke with him.

Rep.-elect Don Leonard, D-Ohio, appears to be one of the most outspoken incoming members. Leonard emerged from nowhere to defeat Rep. Mike Carey, R-Ohio. On Instagram, Leonard said Democratic leaders informed him in “no uncertain terms” that if he didn’t support Jeffries, the party brass would make his “life a living hell” and assure he would lose re-election.
So, there are questions from the left and questions from centrists.
Yours truly pressed Jeffries about whether the skepticism from progressives was real or just politics as they try to extract legislative promises out of him.
“I’m going to work hard to talk to every single member about what we’ve been able to do together over the last two years and what the opportunities are for us to do together in the next two years, to deliver upon the dramatic change that the American people so decisively voted for this past Tuesday,” Jeffries replied, not directly answering.
“That sounds like you don’t have it nailed down. Is that right?” I followed up.
Jeffries chuckled.
“You think I don’t have the vote nailed down?” he countered.
“I’m asking you. You’re the vote counter. Do you have them? Yes or no?” I queried.
“I guess we’ll find out next Wednesday,” Jeffries said.
I have reported on the air that it would take a lot to sidetrack a prospective Jeffries speakership.
House Democrats will likely have north of 260 seats in the new Congress.
The magic number to claim the gavel on the House floor is 218. It’s hard to see Jeffries losing 42 votes. Especially when no one is competing against him. Moreover, he only needs to marshal 131 votes in the Democratic Caucus (just better than half of 260) to become the official nominee.
But that said, there is tension in the Democratic ranks.
Some of that is natural inside such a massive coalition. It’s not construed by the press corps.
The question is how will Jeffries manage those disparate factions when he clasps the gavel as speaker Jan. 3.
