We have a mandate! Pelosi says before getting off the call

Jeffries comes back on to tell people to stop leaking and that reporters aren’t your friends! 😢
Jayapal is telling Jeffries to find the leakers! 🤐

Rashida Tlaib saying before we make painful statements we need to wait and see how the numbers come down, feels like I’m being asked to be quiet and we need to appeal to certain people, and that’s not right

The end is in sight for this Dem caucus call that started more than two hours ago. Jeffries said 7-8 mbrs in queue and then will wrap up.
