House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, calls amendment ‘overly broad’ as party grapples with backlash over Israel

There’s a big split between Democratic leadership and the base of the party.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said in a letter to his caucus that he will oppose an amendment aiming to cut off aid to Israel.

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark’s (D-MA) support for the amendment puts her at odds with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
