Watch live: Jeffries speaks after Democrats flip House in midterm sweep

President Trump is delivering a speech from the White House ballroom construction site following Election Day. Simultaneously, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is scheduled to speak on Wednesday after Democrats achieved a midterm sweep to reclaim control of the House. Jeffries is now positioned to become the next House Speaker when the new Congress convenes in January, which will place him at the forefront of Democratic efforts to challenge the administration of President Trump.
