During a press briefing, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was asked about dissatisfaction with Democrats in Congress amongst their voters as the GOP's Big Beautiful Bill passed the Senate 51-50.
00:00Thank you, Mr. Leader. Beyond just voting against the bill, recent polls have shown a sort of lack of confidence in Democrats in Congress.
00:08When you say you're doing all you can, can you elaborate on that to the people at home that think you weren't doing enough?
00:14Yeah, we're in a more is more environment, and every single generic ballot that has been taken this year has House Democrats defeating House Republicans.
00:24Every single one. Beyond that, every single major special election that has occurred this year.
00:35Iowa in January, New York in February, Pennsylvania in March, Wisconsin in April.
00:45Omaha, Nebraska in May and South Carolina in June.
00:49Every single special election Democrats have won, often in places that Donald Trump carried decisively just last November.
01:03As far as I'm concerned, that's what matters.
01:06We are in a more is more environment, and we're going to continue to do more, as we've been doing over the last several weeks, over the last several months.
