House Democrats to hold leadership elections on Nov. 19

House Democrats will elect their party leaders on Nov. 19. We scooped this for you last night.

There won’t be any drama at the top of the Democratic Caucus. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar will all be reelected, very likely unanimously.

One thing to note here — Democrats haven’t decided yet whether to hold these leadership elections as if they’re in the majority or minority. This matters because of a potential Democratic Caucus vice chair race if they’re in the majority. But right now, that’s not looking like it will happen.

Democrats also won’t formally organize their committees — picking either committee chairs or ranking members — until sometime in December. Top Democrats say there’s no need to do so while the battle for the House still has to be decided.

Here’s Aguilar, who will oversee these elections:
