Hakeem Jeffries: We Need to Focus on Affordability, Accountability and Bringing Back American Values Like Liberty and Justice for All

RUSH EXCERPT:
JEFFRIES: "Well, we’re going to continue to work hard to make our case to every single current member of the house democratic caucus, as well as incoming member of the house democratic caucus in the new Congress. We need to focus on affordability, accountability, and bringing back to life American values like liberty and justice for all, equal protection under the law, access, and an unfettered way to the right to vote, and a return to our nation’s great heritage as a nation of immigrants. These are the things that I believe House Democrats have forcefully advocated for in the current Congress. Against all odds. Repeatedly pushed back against Donald Trump and MAGA extremists. Battle them on every issue. Battle them on the economy. Battle them on tariffs. Battle them on the reckless war of choice in Iran. Battle them on ice funding. Battle them on the Epstein files and battle them on their corrupt and incompetent cabinet officials and other members of the Trump cartel, a few of whom we successfully ran out of town, like Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi. And so this was a historic victory for the American people. Historic victory for House Democrats were going to have an incredibly broad caucus of great patriotic members. It’s been my honor to lead House Democrats over these tumultuous years, and hopefully, I’ll have the opportunity to continue to work hard on behalf of the American people moving forward. We put it in the hands of the house democratic caucus members."
