Jeffries Launches 100-Day Democratic Push on Affordability in Pennsylvania
Jeffries will pitch lower costs for groceries, gas and housing as Democrats target fewer than 20 toss-up House seats.
On Sunday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries unveiled the 'Fighting for an Affordable America' agenda, launching a 100-day Democratic push before the midterm elections in Pennsylvania.
In the Lehigh Valley, Jeffries and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro rallied support for Bob Brooks, a retired firefighter challenging incumbent GOP Rep. Ryan Mackenzie for the 7th District seat.
Jeffries said the goal is 'focused on lowering the cost of groceries and gas and housing,' positioning Democrats to reclaim House control by emphasizing kitchen table issues over other priorities.
Republicans hold a cash advantage and are banking on the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' of tax breaks and spending cuts to buoy candidates across the 435 contested House seats.
Midterms serve as a referendum on President Donald Trump's term, with House control likely decided by fewer than 20 toss-up districts amid voter disapproval of military action against Iran.
