Two years ago, Hakeem Jeffries was a minority leader watching Republicans run the table in Washington. He is now the presumptive Speaker of the House, the most powerful member of Congress, and is expected to take the gavel in January. By Tuesday, projections showed Democrats winning 254 seats to the Republicans’ 165, with 16 races still to be called. NBC News projects they will finish with 259, which would be the party's biggest majority in more than three decades. A narrow one would have handed a dozen or so left-wing members a veto over his speakership and his agenda, and several incoming Democrats are still withholding their support. He can now afford at least three dozen defections.
