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 🤷♀️
You refuse to learn from Mamdani’s example lmfao. You literally saw how a progressive candidate was boycotted by his own party (Cuomo running as independent) and still smashed the elections, but you’ll claim that the only “electable” candidates are “most lethal army in the world” Harris lmfao.
I’m not sure what you are saying with this. Mamdani ran as a Democrat. Cuomo switched and ran independant when Mamdani beat him in the primary. So, a Democrat won, instead of a third party. Which is exactly what I said in my post. Am I misreading what you’ve said?
And the “no matter who” wing of the party showed that they’re massive hypocrites and tried to sink Mamdani after he won the nomination.
I’m gonna need some citations on this one.
I’m sure you don’t consider Gillibrand’s disgusting Islamophobic rant about him to be an example. “No matter who” is only for the left. As soon as the spoiled centrist wing doesn’t get 100% of everything they want, which in this case was the sex pest they wanted running New York City into the ground for them, they revert back to “party unity my ass.”
Yeah, Gillibrand was genuinely awful and that was real Islamophobia. That’s a legitimate criticism. But Mamdani still won as a Democrat, and that is exactly what I was arguing for. The answer to Gillibrand isn’t third parties, it’s primarying cunts like Gillibrand. Do you think someone on the right is going to treat Muslim Americans better? Because that’s the actual alternative when you don’t vote blue.
Isn’t that what we’re talking about here? It ain’t November. Primaries are currently happening. Yet you and your cohorts are mad at people for not supporting establishment Jefferies in this thread.
Just fuck off with your bad faith bullshit. Honestly. I’m done arguing with bots and trolls.
That’s the third time that you’ve gotten pissed off when someone pointed out your goal posts seem to be moving.
You got the source you asked for. Those goalposts can stay put.
Stop trying to convince me to vote blue. I already do. I voted for harris in the last election.
Democrats will lose if they force another genocidal corpodem on us. This is an honest assessment of the electorate you have. You will interpret it as purity testing.
Have a good night.
My point is running progressive candidates wins elections, and Democrats would rather have a Republican win than Mamdani as seen by them boycotting mamdani through Cuomo running as independent. The Democrats lost against trump because they’d rather run unelectable candidates and lose than an actually electable progressive and be forced to pass progressive policy
This is spot on. It’s why they shit on Bernie despite him being way more popular than Hillary. If dems would’ve let Bernie run I think we avoid a trump presidency altogether.
The biggest class in America is the working class.
The people that were against him are establishment asshats who want to keep the status quo. They didn’t want a progressive challenge in the NYC mayoral race. They wanted Cuomo because Cuomo is easy. They aren’t representative of the “Blue No Matter Who” voter strategy. People like Schumer, Jeffries, and Jacobs aren’t progressive democrats, they are “just let us keep doing what we are doing” democrats.
That being said, I’d take Schumer over Thune any day, and that’s a 1:1. You can’t say that voting another Thune into power is a better alternative to Schumer no matter how much you dislike him. The “Blue No Matter Who” theory still lines up with reality, especially when you can see the alternative already in power.
Keep putting excuses, you’ll keep losing elections with your wonderful strategy of using Trump as a cudgel to discipline voters concerned with actual policy, worked wonders with Hillary and Harris. Change nothing, what a wonderful political strategy!
They are representative of the sort of person who says “vote blue no matter who.”
And Thune over anyone to Schumer’s left.
Progressive ran in Minnesota and lost for mayor of Minneapolis.
This whole “progressivism is the silver bullet” is horseshit. This is coming from someone who would like more mamdani candidates but youre a complete fool if you think people like him would win everywhere or win a presidential election by default.
You do realize he ran in …New York City, right? The Big D machine has little say when New Yorkers get their gander up.
This is not necessarily repeatable anywhere else in the US, not a major city anyway.
