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 🤷♀️
They probably won't do shit about cost of living either. The only time it's gone down in the past 20 years was in 2009 after the housing market crashed. That likely had more to do with the recession; and if anything the Democrats' actions were a hindrance to that reduction.
Yeah, Obama and Timmy's choice was to bail out Wall Street and let main street take the hit. And they still can't figure out how they lost support in 2010.
You americans are going to have a rough time now that you have burnt all your soft power and goodwill. Sure you have other problems too, but I don't think any political party can just "turn the 'cost of living' knob up".
Sure they could. Just cut the military budget in half and give it to the people, simple as. They just don't want to.
Then put a 99% tax on assets over 1 billion. Fuck billionaires, you can't get there without being evil.
But we all know both parties get their pockets lined by the Epstein class and that's why it won't happen.
I think it’s fine to expect your party to be capable of doing things that aren’t accomplished by turning a single imaginary knob. Imagine applying this to any other situation: “sorry, there’s no ‘do the dishes’ switch so I’m gonna have to tell you to lower your expectations.”
takes notes ... needs to be ... a recession ...
Prices basically never go down, what you need is stability so that the earned income can rise to match the new prices.
On the flip side, there isn't a whole lot the president can do to reduce inflation, but there sure as fuck is a lot they can do to make it worse.
