Meanwhile, the House situation is getting messy. According to the incoming representative from Ohio's 15th District, Don Leonard, senior Democrats threatened to make his life a "living hell" if he didn't vote for Jeffries and make sure he would lose his next election.

He says they “expect you to wear the team jersey” and “be a good team player." He said the "big D" Democrat Party needed some "little D democracy" and that he was just a stubborn "SOB."

He clarified more with TMZ, saying it was senior Democrat elected officials, not leadership, who were offering him "friendly advice" with "stark consequences."

This new Congress Critter is surprised by this?

“The INVASION of our Country is taking place again,” Trump wrote. “Huge CARAVANS are forming and beginning their illegal march through Mexico.”

A migrant caravan estimated by Mexican authorities to number about 1,500 people was walking northward on Nov. 11 through southern Mexico. The group set off on Nov. 10 from the city of Tapachula near Mexico’s border with Guatemala.

Some caravan participants said the Democratic election wins renewed their hopes of entering the United States and settling there permanently.

“We believe the Democrats will help us ... with God’s help,” he said before the caravan, dubbed “God With Us,” departed.

Trump said that the caravan will not be allowed to enter the United States illegally.

“They will not be accepted!” Trump wrote, adding that Mexico, Texas officials, U.S. Border Patrol, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement had been informed of his position.

“There will be no leniency!” he added.

The Trump administration has repeatedly warned that migrants traveling in caravans will not be allowed to cross the U.S.–Mexico border unlawfully.
