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.

Exactly right!

You don’t see folks grasp that fine point very often either.

The state legislatures are the only entities approved by
the U. S. Constitution who can change voting regulations
in the states.

Not Governors, State Attorney Generals, some election
board hack...

The Legislatures or bust, and every election held in a
state who violated this, should have their election
results tossed out. Their electoral votes do not get
applied to either candidate.

I say the GOP easily takes the House.

I am not confident at all that it will be "easy".

I believe the GOP will take the House by a razor thin margin. Perhaps 5-10 seats. But there will be 10 RINOs who will "reach across the aisle" and vote with the Democrats on critical items.

The Democrats will keep 51 in the Senate.

The same massive vote fraud machinery that put Biden in office will be used for the 2022 mid-terms. It won't work as well, because there are too many States to target. The Democrats will lose a nominal majority in the House, but it will not be decisive. The Republicans would need a 100-seat majority for that.

We may basically get nothing useful from elections that can roll back the Leftists.

..... Conservatives are too busy talking about a movie and bragging about how they will have the majority after the Mid Terms .... And THEN .... Things will really change ...... It’s a shame that they are not busy trying to actually secure our election system so that we could actually have secure and fair elections again ....

“Do you mean the Dominion machines that Trump INCREASED his margins on in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania over 2016?”

I have seen you post this over and over. You must think that it somehow wins the argument for you. Just because Trump got more votes does not mean the machines did not manufacture huge amounts of votes for Biden to cancel them out.

Dems will repeat the Presidential election steal and who will stop them? AG Merrick Garland?? C’mon man. Red State DAs may try, but our Federal government is woefully corrupt and will not enforce the law. Look at the southern border and note that Hillary will never be prosecuted.

We ARE Venezuela.

They sure seem confident, don’t they? It’s almost like they know the game is rigged or something.

It’s amazing at how people can’t process reality.

Let’s dive into the numbers. Let’s look at Wisconsin.

In all but 3 counties, Trump did better in 2020 than in 2016. If DA DOMINONZ was rigging the vote in Wisconsin, it failed miserably, as it netted Trump more votes.

In other words, all things being equal, if we look at only the Dominion Counties, Trump netted about 16K more over Biden than he had over Hilliary!

There were really only two counties that had significant Democrat overperformances as compared to 2016. Dane and Milwaukee.

Neither of them use Dominion Machines.

The late vote dump in Wisconsin was Milwaukee absentee paper mail-in ballots.

Hakeem speaks with forked tongue. Either that or he knows 85 million mail in ballots have already been distributed around the country and the world.

Why would they NOT cheat?

There’s every reason to cheat and cheat big, because it’s now clear that media and politicians of both parties will deny and ridicule the claim of vote fraud, and then demonize the victims of it. It’s a zero-risk, high-reward game for dems.

President Biden has done a very good job under incredibly difficult circumstances.

'Difficult circumstances' his own policies created.

Me too.

I think we’re gonna end up with a rather large majority in the House and I would bet 52 Senators. Hope that 52 doesn’t include Murkowski.
