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 think she would have did a good job personally.
No war in Iran and no brownshirts shooting Americans in the streets.
What you think, and whether she would have done a good job, is completely irrelevant. Do you not understand my point? You win elections by having a candidate that people want to vote for, usually by advancing policies which are popular.
The genocide in Gaza is now like a 90/10 issue. It is known that it was a factor in why Kamala lost the election. If she had opposed the genocide, it is very possible that she would have won.
I am not shitting on Democrats just for fun. I am trying to explain that Trump won because the Democrats advanced a shit, genocidal candidate.
If you let them do the same thing again in 2028, we very well may see a Republican President even worse than Trump.
Please, demand more than the bare minimum.
So you voted trump to stop all the forever wars, release the Epstein files, etc?
Democracy isn't just about voting once in a while, and boy democracy is less about "getting what you want" than removing wannabe dictators.
But then again your whole system is broken, so good luck, because you need to fix it, and that happens by hard work from the bottom up.
I have no idea where you got the idea that I'd ever vote for Trump. I'm an anarchist, and a union rep, and an activist doing organizing in my local community, but I also always vote for the best candidate I can to mitigate harm. All I am doing here is trying to help liberals understand why Harris lost the election, because I want the Democrats to win. I want to try and avoid another fascist dictatorship, which is inevitable if the Democrats continue to be fascism lite.
It's what centrists assume when anyone says something they don't like.
Single issue voters are the worse and the only reason we’ll have a republican president in 2028 is if people try to suppress the democratic vote again.
You know what really suppresses votes? Genocide. Supporting the continued existence of the organization that is abducting your neighbors. Not being able to afford healthcare and having the D candidate not even lie about wanting free healthcare.
I’ve only seen the genocides get worse since Trump won so that’s a hard reality to sell.
So it should be the easiest fucking layup in the world to run on reversing all of Trump's policies, using every means at your disposal instead of crying how powerless the literal fucking president is. But that didn't happen under Obama, or Biden, and the dems still refuse to admit they did anything wrong and course-correct.
Obama brought in the biggest positive chance to American healthcare in modern times and Biden’s policies were more progressive then his.
Tons of people still forgo or delay healthcare because they know or fear it will cost too much. This is the failure you should expect when you relabel a republican policy and pass it as progressive, after slapping on extra means-testing and weird, complex, market-based solutions in the moronic belief that this centrist model will appeal to both republicans and democrats, instead of just giving people free healthcare and appealing to everybody who likes having healthcare and money.
He knows obamacare is inadequate. But centrists have been coasting for 15 years on a heritage foundation policy that wasn't far enough to the right for them so they stripped out the public option and have made zero attempts to add it back in.
Keep telling yourself whatever makes you feel better. I'll be over here, in the real world, fighting for a better world.
Give me someone better to vote for who has a chance of winning and I’ll vote for them.
Until then I’m going to vote for the people with a chance to fix this country.
Well, hopefully a socialist candidate can win the primary. If it's fucking Harris or Newsom or some neoliberal right wing/centrist shitlib we will be completely, 100%, unbelievably, irredeemably fucked by 2036.
If a socialist wins the primary it’s a guaranteed Republican win.
Mamdani won in NYC. Demographic shift is very much changing the electoral landscape.
The choice is between socialism, or fascism. I am hopeful that socialism will win the day. We'll just have to wait and see.
Mamdani won against Cuomo.
I could have won against Cuomo.
You would have voted for Cuomo.
Underestimate the Cuomintang at your peril.
The what?
The Cuomintang
Still don’t get it but I’m not a smart person.
I believe in you, you can figure it out!
If a genocidal corpodem is anointed in what democrats have the temerity to continue calling "primaries," they will lose.
Hopefully a better candidate wins. Because if another genocidal corpodem runs, they will lose.
That's not me threatening to take my ball and go home. That's not purity testing. That's not whatever thought terminating cliche you centrists use whenever you don't want to listen to someone to your left trying to interrupt you when you're making a mistake.
That's an honest assessment of the electorate you have to get votes from if you want to win.
You would rather lose, blame the left, and move to the right. Genocide wasn't far enough to the right for you or any other centrist.
She ran on a more lethal military and that Iran was our greatest enemy...
