Description
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Americans are under extreme pressure from grocery, gas, and housing costs. He called on Republicans to work with Democrats on what he described as "bold, dramatic and decisive" change.
"People in this country, hardworking American taxpayers, middle class taxpayers, working class taxpayers, who are stressed the 'F' out whenever they have to go to the grocery store. That's unacceptable," he said during a news conference on Wednesday. "Stressed the 'F' out whenever they have to go to the gas station to try and fill their tank. That's unacceptable. And they're stressed the 'F' out whenever they have to pay the rent or the mortgage. And so if the other side of the aisle wants to work with us to deliver the type of bold, dramatic, and decisive change the American people are demanding, we’ll sit down and we'll have that conversation."
