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.
