Jeffries: ‘I don’t support’ DSA agenda
Jeffries said he no longer backs Medicare for All and argued Democrats should focus on lowering costs and winning 218 House seats.
- On Sunday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told NBC News host Kristen Welker he does not support Medicare for All or the Democratic Socialists of America agenda, prioritizing affordability as Democrats aim to win at least 218 House seats.
- Welker noted that Jeffries co-sponsored Medicare for All legislation between 2013 and 2021; he now replied, "It's not legislation that I currently am cosponsoring or that I support."
- California Democrat Representative Ro Khanna publicly disagreed with Jeffries on the program, calling Medicare for All "arguably the most important priority" and citing a Yale study claiming the policy would save $1 trillion.
- Jeffries' remarks followed a Democratic National Committee resolution urging lawmakers to pass legislation dissolving ICE, with DNC chair Ken Martin emphasizing that platforms are determined every four years while Jeffries described ICE as "completely and totally out of control."
- White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis criticized the proposal to abolish ICE, stating that President Trump's efforts have delivered the "lowest murder rate in 125 years," contrasting the administration's stance with progressive Democratic priorities.
