Jeffries: Republicans don’t have a mandate
The HIll ^ | 11/19/2024 | Mike Lillis

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday rejected the idea that voters delivered an Election Day mandate to Donald Trump and the Republicans, arguing that the GOP’s razor-thin majority in the House means that nothing will get done in Washington without Democratic support.

“Despite the claims of some of my Republican colleagues, who have spent a lot of time over the last two weeks talking about some big, massive mandate — I’m looking for it,” Jeffries said during a press briefing in the Capitol.

As long as the required majority votes for a bill it passes Hakeem. Mandate or not.

Your butt is grass, Skyhook. We’ll show you the mandate you fuzzy headed jerk. Your butt boy Bidenskyyyyyyy was the aho without a mandate as was your Jamaincan/Injun/Canadian Voodoo Hoodoo. By the way boy, who made you the “Mandate” Czar anyway?

The Democrats have already decided in their minds that resistance is justified. Talk about tone-deaf.

That’s right. Keep up the divisive rhetoric. Keep running that mouth.

The adults are in charge now Hakeem, thanks to the mandate from the public, because they got sick and tired of the left’s childish irresponsible handling of the nation, so Sit back and watch how adults handle the nation-

...Mandate -A mandate is an official command or a go-ahead. When a politician wins an election by a wide margin, that’s a mandate to implement his/her ideas.

Before the FReepersphere goes bat-shit bananas, and I get zotted and vilified and assassinated, there was no bigger fan of Mr. Trump than I, but in reality, Trump got 49.9 per cent of the popular vote and Harris got 48.3 per cent, not really a wide margin.....jus’ sayin’......

You will see it starting in January, 2025 so you better run your mouth now, because you will be bleeding from your ass for the next several years.

I cannot wait.

A small margin of “official” votes translates to a blowout of ACTUAL votes.

Dems are STILL over-represented by several million fake votes in blue states.
