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.

PS this is low effort memes, I’m not going to defend the meme in the comments - feel free to argue with yourselves
Edit: I’m not american so you’re extra wasting your time arguing 🤷♀️
I voted for Harris not the fascists.
Don’t you love the neo-liberal bullshit of critical analysis of a candidate by a leftist means you didn’t vote for them? Geeze, with them pushing away leftists, I wonder how the party will do now.
I don’t think you know what neoliberal means and when did I tell dingdong they didn’t vote?
I would appreciate it if you didn’t put words in my mouth so you can give yourself a reason to be mad.
I wasn’t saying you said DingDong didn’t vote. What I’m saying is that neo-liberals believe if you are critical of the Dems and them they think you didn’t vote at all.
Seven million less people voted Harris than Biden so there’s a chance those ‘neo-liberals’ are right.
What does neoliberal mean to you anyways?
Neo-liberal ideology is one that succinctly calls itself socially liberal and fiscally conservative.
It’s pro-capitalist believing in laissez-faire economic policies, minimal government guidance, regulation, or oversight. Economic policies that do not restrict the accumulation of wealth, expansion of business, reach of business, its regulation. Believers often talk about the hand of the free market guiding it.
Social policies, it ranges from moderately conservative to moderate in general. As long as they do not hamper the free market economy. Equality but not necessary egalitarianism. So examples include increase in police funding, promotion of private institutions along with public ones.
They believe people should be free to move among the social levels through merit. Also austerity is a big part of it. Big players in recent times have been Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Both parties were neo-liberal until the time of Newt Gingrich then the Republicans started to turn toward reactionary politics more and more.
Neo-liberal does not mean leftist/ism/, socialist/ism, communist/ism, and anarchist/ism. Such ideologies are at odds because they believe in best of a regulated capitalist socio-economic policy to outright its rejection.
Republicans cosplay as neoliberals while mostly being conservative.
Democrats are mostly liberal not neoliberal.
Right, so what does liberal mean to you then?
Social liberalism or progressive liberalism is a political philosophy and variety of liberalism that endorses social justice, social services, a mixed economy, and the expansion of civil and political rights, as slightly opposed to classical liberalism which favors limited government and an overall more laissez-faire style of governance. While both are committed to personal freedoms, social liberalism places greater emphasis on the role of government in addressing social inequalities and ensuring public welfare.
Social liberal governments address economic and social issues such as poverty, welfare, infrastructure, healthcare, and education using government intervention, while emphasising individual rights and autonomy.
Social liberalism, because the US usually just calls it liberalism.
Your vote is irrelevant when you did all the work to ensure fascists get get elected.
Harris was fascist lite. Both candidates were fascists. Dont lie, you did vote for fascists, and you got what you voted for.
That’s just not true and comments like this are doing the right-wing propaganda machine’s job for it by normalizing what’s currently happening.
Don’t be like that.
It is true. She would not make the decision to part ways with Israel and advocate against an ongoing genocide.
You just wanted a more polite fascist. You wanted genocide, just a more well spoken version that meets your class sensibilities.
You think everyone is a fascist though.
No, and I’ve been incredibly, incredibly clear about this for literally years. And no matter how much you try and pretend its something else, you yourself continuously do the work to out your true self.
You were never interested in stopping fascism, because you yourself support the same policies as the literal fascists. You only find issue with the window dressings, with the trappings and stylistic aspects of how the fascism is done. But so long as it meets your cultural sensibilities, its fine with you.
I voted Harris who is not a fascist so your argument breaks down there.
How you fucking voted is irrelevant.
You advocated relentless to keep Harris where she was policy wise when EVERYBODY KNEW she would lose the election sticking with those polices. You objectively advocated that the Democrats stick to the path which everyone with eyes knew would lead to them losing the election.
👏 You 👏 advocated 👏 for 👏 fascism 👏.
👏 You 👏 are 👏 supporter 👏 of 👏 fascism 👏.
Would you believe me if I said he just tried to argue that being Zionist is what Jews need to do?
What a shocker that someone who thinks that Israel is doing things fine also thinks Harris was a good choice. She would have agreed to fight Iran, but she’s somehow better
Somehow .world is pure of heart and AN and DB0 are bad instances for being anti-fascist.
I relentlessly kept Harris where she was policy wise for all three months of her campaign?
