Dem Rep. Jeffries: ‘Very Confident’ Democrats Will Hold Majority in Midterms
Breitbart ^ | 22 May 2022 | PAM KEY

Posted on 05/22/2022 6:13:21 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

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.

Pretty much.

I am not sure what people expect a politician to say though.

“Yeah, I think we will lose.”

Politicians NEVER say that. Ever.

Exactly, one thing that Jeffries knows for certain is that the US Justice department is corrupt and will let democrats continue to get away with industrial scale voter fraud and that the US Justice Department is okay with destroying the greatest country on earth. The US Justice department has destroyed accountability by allowing industrial scale voter fraud. Congratulations US Justice Department... you took the greatest nation on earth and have just about destroyed it because of your corruption and progressive bias.

DOMINION and USPS: “we’re ready”

At least as far as Dominion goes, I'm certain new Republican Elon Musk and the fellow geniuses he works with can engineer a method for detecting electronic voting "irregularites" -- even from miles away from the machine.

I'm equally-certain there will be "eyes in the sky" on certain questionable drop boxes.

And I'm VERY certain there will be twice the amount of in-person observers at the polls. And they are not going to let election workers put up barriers to make them unable to see what's going on.

I'm sure when Elon announced his party-switch, he immediately got the ball rolling to make sure his brand new Republican vote counts.

Some R’s will be stupid, but, no, my guess is that they’re not going to throw this election away.

I think that moderate voters are rejecting wokeness in droves. In fact, if the Democrats don’t learn their lesson, the progressives are going to be primaried next time around by moderates.

The Republicans shouldn’t miss this opportunity — a time when the Democrats have sorely misjudged what the vast majority of people believe.

If the Republicans were concerned about any shenanigans going on in November they would have had hearing after hearing after hearing after the election of 2020 was stolen.I would have beaten that horse till there wasn’t even a bloody pulp left over. America was screwed and I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens again. If they can steal one election they can steal them all.

Whistling past the graveyard....

What if they get stalled out while trying to put the fix in place? They for sure do not have anything like an honest vote in mind.

While the Democrats are working hard to rig the election the GOP leadership is sleepwalking.

Republicans don’t really want to lead. They just want to occupy some seats on Capitol Hill. That’s enough for them.

They are spectators, not players.

If he didn’t say that, and said that democrats would lose congress, then, he would be crucified by the liberal media dn by most progressives.

We’re being fundamentally changed?
