House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Democratic leaders are expected to hold a press conference Tuesday night as Democrats are projected to win a comfortable majority.
Jeffries will likely become the first Black House speaker in congressional history, provided he earns support from a majority of the Democratic caucus after the new Congress is seated in January.
Democrats are now projected to win at least 235 House seats, according to the CNBC Election Desk. Subscribe to CNBC on YouTube.
