Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that he was “very confident” Democrats would be able to hold on to the majority in the House and Senate in the midterm elections this November.
Partial transcript as follows:
MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to get to you on some of this poll data that you also heard here specifically young people, Hispanics and half of Black Americans say the president has been too slow to react. His ratings on effectiveness are low. Perceptions of competence are low. A majority of Democrats now say the economy is bad. How does your party hold on to the majority?
JEFFRIES: I’m very confident that we will be able to hold on to the majority. President Biden has done a very good job under incredibly difficult circumstances. I understand that the electorate, of course, is going to be unsettled, experiencing COVID fatigue, inflationary pressures, high gas prices, a war in Ukraine, a radical, extreme Republican Party that doesn’t appear to believe in democracy any longer. And so this is a tough moment for our country but President Biden has been very decisive in his leadership, beginning with the American Rescue Plan. We rescued the economy, put shots in arms and money in pockets, Kids back in school, laid the foundation for a robust economic recovery that has led to more than 8 million good paying jobs being created and unemployment at 3.6%. That’s a tremendous start. Of course, there’s more that needs to be done.

Yep, the fix is in.
Sounds like the steal is still in full effect.
AGREED!
He’s whistling in the graveyard.
The only thing that could save the evil party in November is if the stupid party acts stupid. Unfortunately that’s possible.
Dude’s delusional.
The Republicans will rule this country when they can finally look at Democrats and, instead of saying, “How dare you!”, say, “Huh?” and just go forward.
“Unfotunately that’s possible.”
Did you mean probable ?
DOMINION and USPS: “we’re ready” <<<
Yup..thats just what Im afraid of....
How many mules do they have lined up, already?
Translation: We have a plan to stuff the ballot boxes like never before.
Baghdad Hakeem [Bob] speaks
If you disagree with Democrats you are against democracy.
With McDaniel, McConnell and McCarthy as Republican “Leaders”, they will.
Let’s see how confident you are.
I say the GOP easily takes the House. Let’s bet on the outcome.
So far, very few doomers will take me up on the offer.
I guess they aren’t so “confident” after all.
Think we can vote our way out of this?
I want house with large majority and republican senate with 51. Enough to stop judges and bills getting passed.
Do you mean the Dominion machines that Trump INCREASED his margins on in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania over 2016?
That Dominion?
The Buffalo shooter terrorist had that exact same line in his manifesto. I guess you all think alike?
If enough MAGA candidates win their primaries I expect the democrats will win the midterms.
Politicians ALWAYS say this stuff. ALWAYS.
Piglosi said it in 2016 right before Trump won. She guaranteed that the Democrats would take the Senate in 2018 (they didn’t).
McAuliffe said that he was VERY confident that he was going to win Virginia in 2021.
Yet, every time one of these politicians say what they are going to say, the eeyore surrender monkeys come out and cry and whine like it means something.
