Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries didn’t hold back, lambasting President Trump and his Republican allies for policies that have jacked up prices and plunged the country into what he deems a pointless conflict. Jeffries laid out the toll during a candid media session. Republican agendas have hammered American families with inflation in essentials like health care, gas, homes, daycare, and daily meals.
