Congressional leadership emerged from a bipartisan meeting Thursday with promises to do more to protect members’ safety following a spate of recent political violence.
“We had a very productive meeting and recognize the urgency of acting quickly, decisively and in a bipartisan manner to ensure the safety and security of all Members and their families,” a statement from House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries read.
“As an immediate follow up, Chairman Bryan Steil and Ranking Member Joe Morelle of the Committee on House Administration will convene with the leadership of the relevant committees of jurisdiction to aggressively chart the path forward and implement change,” it said.
