What is the Democratic response to Republican budget reconciliation strategy?
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries strongly opposes the Republican attempt to push a partisan budget, describing it as trying to 'jam this budget down the throats of the American people.' He emphasizes that Democrats would never be expected to support such a proposal. Jeffries highlights that due to narrow margins in the House, it would only take three House Republicans to block what he calls 'bad stuff from happening.' This statement underscores the Democrats' strategy of encouraging moderate Republican defections to prevent partisan budget cuts that Democrats view as harmful to Americans.
