House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) chastised “extreme MAGA Republicans,” called President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address “eloquent” and praised former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi as “the greatest speaker of all time in the United States of America” during his weekly press conference on Feb. 9.

It was Jeffries’ first press conference since Biden’s State of the Union speech on Feb. 7, and the House Minority Leader echoed the president’s messaging.
