A protester heckled House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in Denver on Friday, as he campaigns to become speaker of the House when the new Democratic majority takes over in January.

The man interrupted Jeffries while he spoke onstage at the What's Next conference, where Democratic leaders, strategists, and newly elected lawmakers gathered to plan how to use the new majorities and how to position the party for 2028.

The protester shouted, "You are a f****** liar!" at Jeffries. He kept yelling for more than a minute while the crowd booed, and the shouting continued until his removal from the building.

When the moderator noted that Jeffries had stayed calm during the interruption, Jeffries said, "Remember, ya'll, I grew up in Brooklyn." The discussion resumed once the protester was gone.

This is hardly the first sign of tension between Jeffries and the DSA-wing of the party. At a June victory event for Rep.-elect Valdez (D-NY) after New York's Democratic primaries, Democratic Socialists of America activists celebrated their candidates' wins by chanting "You're next!" as a picture of Jeffries appeared on a screen. The chant targeted the highest-ranking Democrat in the House. Jeffries did not face a primary challenger in 2026. Friction between the party establishment and the DSA has continued since Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress on November 3.

Jeffries succeeded Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as House Democratic leader in January 2023 and no Democrat has formally challenged Jeffries for speaker. Parts of the party's progressive wing object to his support for Israel and his ties to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), and some incoming lawmakers have not endorsed him.

House Democrats have their internal leadership elections on Nov 18th and Jeffries is by a long way the favorite to win. The Speaker sets the agenda for the House, decides which bills reach the floor, and is a key player in negotiations with the Senate and the White House.
