In a press conference on Monday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) spoke about the reconciliation bill recently passed into law.
Transcript
00:00The council was asked yesterday, the legislative agenda going forward now that the reconciliation bill is passed.
00:06He said that Republicans are going to pursue up to two more reconciliation bills.
00:11One, as soon as this fall, one next spring, he said that Republicans were going to push for lower-end-level funding for their 2026 funding bills,
00:19more rescission packages, and quote, codifying Trump executive orders.
00:23I want to get your response to that legislative agenda.
00:27How will Democrats continue to push back, and do you think that it's wise if you say that the reconciliation bill that just passed is so unpopular,
00:36do you think that it's wise to pursue additional party-line pieces of legislation?
00:41If the Republican legislative agenda in the House continues to be to unleash chaos, cruelty, and corruption on the American people,
00:50we will continue as Democrats to strongly oppose it.
