House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said Democrats will not focus on impeaching President Trump if they regain a majority in the lower chamber after midterm elections.
“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader added.
The House minority leader has lauded Democrats’ push for redistricting nationwide in an effort to pick up additional House seats and signaled that the party will advocate more for working-class Americans, after Democrats saw losses from the key demographic in the 2024 election.

PS this is low effort memes, I'm not going to defend the meme in the comments - feel free to argue with yourselves
Edit: I'm not american so you're extra wasting your time arguing 🤷♀️
I love the cynicism but 4 months ago every strategist was like "talk about only the economy, that's all people care about, and you can't lose" and now the Dems are trying that, and people are like "Pfft talk about revenge more," which wasn't part of the strategy. I haven't see the polling on it. But I bet the average American gives a big shit about their bank accounts and relatively little shit about Trump's inevitable escape of consequences and the circus he's constantly spinning. I want the Democrats targeting the big base of potential voters, not courting the angry people on the left at the expense of broader palatability.
Populism is a funny thing, if we're going to try it to counter the populism that got us here, we have to acknowledge not everyone will be satisfied by the plan.
But I am spitballing, I have no idea what they're thinking, nor does anyone in here.
