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.

    The people that were against him are establishment asshats who want to keep the status quo. They didn’t want a progressive challenge in the NYC mayoral race. They wanted Cuomo because Cuomo is easy. They aren’t representative of the “Blue No Matter Who” voter strategy. People like Schumer, Jeffries, and Jacobs aren’t progressive democrats, they are “just let us keep doing what we are doing” democrats.

    That being said, I’d take Schumer over Thune any day, and that’s a 1:1. You can’t say that voting another Thune into power is a better alternative to Schumer no matter how much you dislike him. The “Blue No Matter Who” theory still lines up with reality, especially when you can see the alternative already in power.

      Keep putting excuses, you’ll keep losing elections with your wonderful strategy of using Trump as a cudgel to discipline voters concerned with actual policy, worked wonders with Hillary and Harris. Change nothing, what a wonderful political strategy!

      They are representative of the sort of person who says “vote blue no matter who.”

      That being said, I’d take Schumer over Thune any day,

      And Thune over anyone to Schumer’s left.
