WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) delivered the following remarks at a press conference after the Democratic Caucus elected their leadership team for the 115th Congress:
“Millions more people voted for the agenda that this leadership group represents—millions.
“We have a responsibility to those millions who did not vote for the agenda that was put forth by Donald Trump, who are more than those who voted for the Donald Trump agenda – whatever that might be. We have a responsibility.
“And we will meet that responsibility. We will raise our voices, as the Leader has said, in opposition.
“And if there are times we can cooperate, and our values will allow us to do that, we will do that.
“But we will not shrink from making sure that the majority voice of the American people will be heard on the Floor of the House [of Representatives] and in every other forum in this country. We owe that to them, we owe it to our children and grandchildren, and to future generations.”
