逾百万人联署反对杰弗里斯出任众议院议长：发起人的付费大使身份引争议
一份要求众议院民主党人不要选 Hakeem Jeffries 出任议长的网络联署，11月7日突破100万个签名。Axios 11月6日报道，民主党众议员的办公室正被要求不要选杰弗里斯的电话与邮件淹没。
这份名为「众议院民主党人：选一位新议长」的联署由 Nicole Whitted 于9月3日在 Change.org 发起；平台页面披露了发起人的付费大使身份。到11月9日至10日，Democracy Now 读到的签名数约为1,114,836。另有一份要求杰弗里斯与参议院民主党领袖舒默双双下台的联署，签名超过6.8万。
联署的批评者质疑这类签名有「人造草根」之嫌，发起方的付费身份是争议焦点之一。与此同时，部分新当选的进步派议员尚未表态支持杰弗里斯，纽约市长马姆达尼则公开支持他。
杰弗里斯目前仍是出任议长的压倒性热门人选。众议院民主党领导层投票定于11月19日，全院议长投票将于2027年1月3日举行。

Petition Against Jeffries Becoming House Speaker Passes One Million Signatures; Organiser's Paid Role Draws Scrutiny
An online petition urging House Democrats not to elect Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker passed one million signatures on November 7. Axios reported on November 6 that Democratic House offices were being flooded with calls and emails demanding they not pick Jeffries.
The petition, titled 'House Democrats: Pick a New Speaker,' was launched on Change.org on September 3 by Nicole Whitted; the platform page discloses her role as a paid ambassador. By November 9-10, Democracy Now put the signature count at about 1,114,836. A separate petition calling for both Jeffries and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer to step down has gathered more than 68,000 signatures.
Critics have questioned whether such campaigns amount to astroturfing, with the organiser's paid role part of the dispute. Some incoming progressive members have not committed to backing Jeffries, while New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has publicly supported him.
Jeffries remains the overwhelming favourite to become Speaker. The House Democratic leadership vote is set for November 19, with the full House Speaker vote on January 3, 2027.
