House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries has hit back at claims that his party isn’t doing enough to keep President Trump and the Republican party in check.
And the top Democrat in the lower chamber could only brush off the concerns during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, while not providing any specifics as to how his party would halt plans by the GOP to introduce cuts to Medicaid and food stamps in order to power the extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts. Republicans are working on such plans as the party nears passage of budget legislation.
