House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) criticized the Republican initiative to evict two senior Democrats from their Capitol offices.

What Happened: Jeffries referred to the move to displace former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) as “petty, partisan and petulant.”

Jeffries stated that following the narrow avoidance of a government shutdown and the historic ousting of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), “things only deteriorated from there.”

He accused House Republicans of lashing out and attempting to shift blame. The Democrats, according to Jeffries, have sought bipartisan solutions and a “way out” of the dysfunction created by the House Republicans.

"The House should be restructured to promote governance by consensus and facilitate up-or-down votes on bills that have strong bipartisan support," Jeffries wrote.

He reinforced the Democrats’ commitment to finding a bipartisan path forward but emphasized that Republicans need to be willing to “break with MAGA extremism.”

Meanwhile, Pelosi, on Friday, brushed off McHenry's decision to boot her from her Capitol "hideaway office." She called it “incidental” and said she had more important concerns. She added, "The office means nothing to me!"
