Alphabet speech edit
I notice that Jeffries' "Alphabet speech" got a lot of coverage: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=speaker+of+the+house+alphabet+speech&atb=v329-1&t=chromentp&ia=web
Perhaps it's worth mentioning even though it's just one event. ~Anachronist (talk) 15:00, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- he also knows signing. Someone get him a laser pointer. If you make him put his hands in his pockets can he talk? 2600:1004:B111:5631:23:E808:B376:8BA0 (talk) 00:07, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Hakeem Jeffries edit
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Hakeem Jeffries's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:53, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Congressional Progressive Caucus edit
Jeffries is no longer listed as a member. Check their website. User keeps listing him as a member. 73.29.10.120 (talk) 18:36, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
Bias edit
Jeffries is noted for his ability to work with Democrats across the caucus and Republicans on shared goals. Considered a centrist, he has said he is willing to work with Republicans "whenever possible, but we will also push back against extremism whenever necessary." - this part is extremely biased and subjective, and there are no links pinned. It goes against principles of objectivity and neutral point of view Ruhrob (talk) 12:13, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- The citation is at the end of the paragraph. — Czello (music) 12:36, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
- Any objective examination of the voting record of Hakeem Jeffries shows that he is a politician of the extreme left - the claim that he is a "centrist" goes beyond bias, it is a flat out lie. 2A02:C7C:E183:AC00:B484:EC05:5D26:1EF7 (talk) 09:25, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Jeffries' position on 2016 election, general tenor of entry edit
Why is there nothing in this entry about Jeffries' repeated allegations of illegitimacy concerning the 2016 presidential election? This article is a puff-piece, clearly written by or on behalf of Jeffires and unreviewed by an objective editor. Entries of this kind discredit Wikpedia. WmDKing (talk) 07:15, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
