Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

Republicans are on the run with respect to their deeply unpopular and extreme agenda. Donald Trump is crashing the economy and marching the country toward a recession. At the same time, House Republicans are struggling to enact their reckless budget scheme that guts Medicaid and food assistance in order to hand massive tax breaks to their billionaire donors like Elon Musk. 

The American people overwhelmingly detest the fact that House Republicans have behaved as nothing more than a rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s extreme agenda. As a result, the GOP is panicking. House Democrats will keep the pressure on until the MAGA extremists pull down this budget once and for all.
