House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said Democrats will not focus on impeaching President Trump if they regain a majority in the lower chamber after midterm elections.

“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader added.

The House minority leader has lauded Democrats’ push for redistricting nationwide in an effort to pick up additional House seats and signaled that the party will advocate more for working-class Americans, after Democrats saw losses from the key demographic in the 2024 election.

    If Democrats are serious about anything they should be replacing Hakeem Jeffries if they retake the House. If he and Schumer had an ounce of shame they’d have both already resigned.

        I hope so, and I think the winds are blowing that way, but there are at least a few in Dem leadership that would rather Republicans win than Progressives. If they conspire with Republicans to end free and fair elections we may be in real trouble.

        Unless of course the fascists have completed their takeover and effectively outlawed dissent by then.

        Tragically, that’s probably much more likely 😮‍💨
