ABOUT HAKEEM JEFFRIES EDITORIAL CARTOON
After Wednesday’s uncontested vote among House

Democrats, much of the nation will start getting to know
Hakeem Jeffries as the first Black American to lead a party
conference in Congress. Having followed the Brooklynite
for decades, we’ve got some insight on, and some advice
for, the new House Democratic leader and possible future
speaker.

Washington Dems are a fractious bunch. A younger
generation pulls the party toward true-blue progressivism
even as mainstream party faithful and moderates have other
ideas. Since going to Congress in 2013 and joining leadership
in 2017, Jeffries has shown a canny rhetorical and substan-
tive ability to straddle the camps.

But if he leans in one direction, it’s toward sound policies
that can garner majority support. He’s a longtime friend of
charter schools, understanding that they deliver high-qual-
ity alternatives to underprivileged families. He’s a stalwart
supporter of Israel, even as a vocal contingent of Democrats
turns away from America’s most important Mideast ally.
He’s a believer in building more housing, including in his
backyard.

All this helps explain why there’s no love lost between him

Slow to review and research before purchasing.

Here are the answers to the weekly quiz:

Q.1—Neither vulnerable, as South, you hold: Dick Tracy By Joe Staton and Mike Curtis
Animal Crackers By Mike Osbun
♠ KJ6 ♥ J8 ♦ 953 ♣ KQJ64 Prickly City By Scott Stantis

Partner opens 1D and right-hand opponent passes. What is
your response?
A.1—Traditional players will bid 2C, showing at least 10 points.
For modern 2-over-1 players, this hand isn’t good enough. They
bid 1NT. Neither is wrong.

Q.2—North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:

♠ J 10 9 4 ♥ 9 7 6 ♦ Q 10 8 7 ♣ K 4

Partner opens 1D and right-hand opponent bids 2C. What call
would you make?
A.2—Don’t even think about a negative double. This hand is
only good enough for one bid. Bid 2D.

Q.3—East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ A Q J 9 6 5 ♥ 10 6 ♦ 7 ♣ Q 7 6 4

North East South West

1♦ Pass 1♠ Pass

1NT Pass ?

What call would you make?
A.3—Surely this hand is worth an invitational bid. Bid 3S.

Q.4—Both vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ Q3 ♥ A872 ♦ J762 ♣ KJ7

North East South West

1♣ Dbl Redbl 1♠

Pass Pass ?

What call would you make?
A.4—Don’t double for penalties with only 2 spades. Bid 1NT.
You have already promised 10 points, so bidding 1NT with 11 is
OK.
