- She endorsed Hakeem Jeffries as ready, respected and a unifier, saying she has no doubt he would become speaker if Democrats secure a majority.
- She said Democratic oversight would center on subpoena authority and that any decision on impeaching President Donald Trump would depend on his actions.
