How soon could Democrats try to carry out their affordability agenda?
The plan targets gas, groceries and healthcare, with Democrats seeking to restore Affordable Care Act tax credits that expired in 2025.
On Wednesday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced that Democrats are preparing a 100-day agenda to address gas prices, groceries, and healthcare following their midterm election victories.
Republicans maintain control of Congress for the next two months, delaying Democratic action until January when the new Congress is officially sworn in.
House Democrats plan to reinstate Affordable Care Act tax credits that expired in 2025, leaving millions of Americans facing higher health insurance costs. Jeffries stated this will deliver the "dramatic change in direction" voters requested.
President Donald Trump expressed willingness to work with Democrats, stating, "I'll get along probably with the Democrats unless they want to be destructive, but I have the power of the veto."
Impeachment motions lack the Senate majority needed to convict Trump, so analysts dismiss the idea while Democrats plan to stall remaining Republican bills until January.
