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.

He said Biden has done a good job under the circumstances.

Lol. He is responsible for ‘the circumstances’!

That’s not doing a good job.

Agreed. Of course, they've already doubled down; we're living in a Monty Python script.

It's like a stock market bubble though -- there's no way to tell how long the mass psychosis will last, getting worse and worse until it eventually pops.

Even the Cultural Revolution in China (which was the same sort of phenomenon) eventually ended.

Surrender Monkey Caucus enjoy this “truthful” boast from a Democrat/communist now because the curtain is coming down .
So what that the Democrat/communists have no platform and it’s the end of May;

So what that Democrat/communists own polls show them down 8 points in the generic question;

So what that the Democrat/communists got their clock cleaned in redistricting in New York by Democrat/communist judges no less;

So what that Hispanic support for them is down to 26% and Black support is down to 64%;

So what that Civiqs has Joey underwater with women

and so what that Youngkin has shown how to win by using Bannon formula of flooding polling places with Republican poll watchers.

Yes, Surrender Monkeys enjoy it while it lasted because Durham is just getting started and even CNN and MSNBC are turning on the rodents.

Gas and food are sky high. We don’t have baby formula. The stock market has crashed. The POTUS is obviously senile.

This should be a 50 state red wave blow out.

However, the GOP will find a way to fumble the election.

Are they incompetent, or is this a plan? Either way we need new leadership that knows how to win, and wants to win.

I agree. Merkowski needs to go. 52 would work. Anything to stop Biden his final two years is all I ask for with the republicans. No negotiation nonsense.

Demonstrating how detached from reality he is. Just the guy you want making decisions on anything.

I guess if Hakeem Jeffries is so confident, then the rest of us can be confident of the country continuing to slide down the toilet. You’d think he’d be wanting something better for the country.

I appreciate you providing the numbers. As far as reality is concerned I have zero problem processing such. Before accusing me of such maybe try reading what I posted. I said it was possible that the machines were rigged for Biden based on what you were saying about Trump getting more votes than he did in 2016. Your statement in and of itself was not conclusive because you were saying it was imopossible that results were rigged for Biden because Trump got more votes than last time. All I was saying is that one does not cancel out the other. I have the same belief as you do, that ballot drops of fake ballots was the culprit here, not the machines. I was up late on election night watching the returns and Wisconsin was one of those states where Trump was ahead when counting stopped, and then 5 hours later all of a sudden Biden was leading. When counting stopped Trump was ahead by 105k votes with 94% counted. Then 5 hours later he was 5k behind with 99% in. Meaning that Biden got almost ALL of the new votes that came in- obvious ballot drop. I do appreciate the thorough response though.
