If Democrats take back Congress and the White House, restoring voting rights will be a top priority, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said. While the party will focus on issues like lowering costs, he insisted it’ll also need to repair the foundations of democracy, including judicial reform.

I’m very disappointed in my Rep Hakeem for being so milquetoast and not supporting our new Mayor Mamdani but if he comes through WHEN we retake the House, good. And if not he damn well better be replaced!

Sadly with his leadership it will be the same old democrat lets pretend this never happened and they have learned their lessons bullshit. He does not 'get' that it is not the same world now and if they don't govern like that we will be here again soon and next time we will not survive.

We’ll see how it goes. He’s never had a chance at actual leadership. Also, the leader is an organizer and counter of votes. The members decide together what their priorities are.

Priority needs to be destroying ICE, prosecuting everyone involved in bribes for pardons, prosecuting everyone involved in murdering fishermen in the Caribbean, ending all government contracts with Musk, Thiel and other tech bros and prosecuting doge criminals, taxing the shit out of rich assholes.

Anything to dodge holding republicans to account. 100% what I expected. Jeffries, Schumer most all of D leadership are such cowards truly and it’s why our country is in many ways where it is. I don’t just blame the criminal racist republicans. I also blame D’s for allowing it to happen.

That's good. It's a difficult tightrope they must walk. Voters want them focused on bread and butter issues and not distracted with squabbling with Republicans. But they urgently need to address democratic decline and there is a constituency demanding that as well.

Jeffries will never talk about holding anyone accountable, because they are his comrades. He and Schumer and the "old" democrats are as corrupt as the repubs. They've been playing good cop, bad cop, for years while stabbing us in the back and doing what their corporate handlers want. AIPAC lackys.

I won't believe a single damn thing current Dem leadership says until they actually deliver it. GOP just rams shit through, meanwhile the Dems always find excuses to not pass anything real & instead pass shit the GOP would've passed 15-20 years ago before they went full on Christofascist.

Fight damnit. Abolish Ice. Prosecute everyone who committed war crimes, gunned down Americans in the streets, ignored court orders, had their hand in the cookie jar, brought frivolous lawsuits, lied to the American people, & tried to overturn elections. Start at the top this time.

Taking back the house and even the senate not much will get done and Trumps not signing anything passed by a Dems. Even a reconciliation bill he’d veto and the votes aren’t there for override. It will all be investigations into Trump and all his illegal bullshit

Yeah yeah… actions > words. Also… “But Jeffries recognized that Trump would be unlikely to sign any reform bills Democrats…” then how will he, oh mighty jeffries, achieve the restoration of said voting rights if the orange maggot won’t sign anything?! Again — talk big and have no plan. Shocker.

Flip it SCOTUS WILL UNDUE ANYTHING THAT ISNT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF CORPORATIONS, the CONSERVATIVE PROJECT, WHITE, WEALTHY, cisgender MEN & the Republican Party, SCOTUS POWER, or GOP POTUS. E.g what the eff happened to MQD (major questions doctrine), should’ve applied to almost everything 47 does.
