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.

Stop supporting and enabling genocidal cunts or I’ll do my best to kneecap the only viable opposition and empower MAGA and Trump!
"it's the only viable opposition because VBNMW only goes one way!"
If you want left wing votes, you better have left wing candidates. Unless you really like how 2024 turned out, I'd recommend learning that.
If I can't tell the difference then I'm not engaging. Good luck.
I love it, the left are both a large voting block for the Democrats but negligible enough to not be considered serious for legislation. Like with all fascists, you can't reason with a neo-lib.
Schrodingers leftist.
Democrats need to pursue the left flank of the countries like they pursue triple Trumper votes.
Harris chose a losing policy. She lost.
Not that any centrist has read this far, but I voted for her. I fully expect abuse from people who made the assumption that I didn't as soon as I said she chose a losing policy.
The Democrats empowered MAGA and Trump by running a completely non-viable candidate. Stop blaming voters for the failure of the Democratic party. This is all on them, 100%.
That non viable candidate almost won and the world would be a better place if she did.
I’d say this was less on the voters and more on the non voters.
almost won? She lost every single swing state. It was a slaughter and not even close.
People didn't vote because they felt like Harris was not worth voting for. She lost because she didn't actually offer anyone what they wanted, she was just a harm reduction candidate at best. That isn't sufficiently motivating to get people out to vote, no matter how much we rant and yell and shame people.
Please, I am begging you, accept this reality. I want Trump and the Republicans gone probably even more than you do. I am trying to help you understand that we lost for a very good reason and we need to learn from it.
Funny how not setting your hand on a burning stove won't result in third degree burns isn't a good enough reason to not set your hand on a burning stove. You ever heard the phrase "don't let better be the enemy of perfect"?
No shit Harris sucked, but she sucked a whole lot less than Trump and moving incrementally left from Harris would have been a HELL OF A LOT easier than moving left from Trump. I do absolutely blame the idiots who sat around and said "well, Harris doesn't inspire me, so I'll sit here and let the fascist collapse happen. That'll show everyone how morally superior I am!"
The people who didn't vote, I think, are worse than Trumo supporters because at least Trump supporters made moves to do what they thought was best while you sat around and twiddled your thumbs and let the world burn around you instead of doing the bare fucking minimum available to you to stop it, or at least slow it down to make it easier to change it in the near future
Yeah, being mad at trump supporters voting for trump is like being mad at your dog for eating its own shit. It's a dumb animal that eats shit and garbage, what were you expecting? I'm more mad that they have, not just equal, but over representation in this political system. We need a system where ideally, the stupid dogs have no representation, or at a minimum, equal representation to actual thinking human beings.
No excuses for the 3rd party/non-voters in 2024. Life is full of shitty compromises made worse by inaction. I'm amazed they've made it this far in life without noticing that, but it's time to adult the fuck up.
Primaries for Congress are going on right now, and each one of those whiny lazy chucklefucks that got us into the mess ought to be out there stumping for their ideal candidate every waking hour of every day until November.
This is the most sane comment I've seen from you since I joined Lemmy.
He almost gets it, like Kamala almost won.
