House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is set to unveil a Democratic affordability agenda at a Pennsylvania event marking 100 days until the midterms. The event also puts the competitive race for Pennsylvania’s 7th District in focus.
Jeffries plans to introduce the party’s “Fighting for an Affordable America” agenda as Democrats seek to focus voters on costs ahead of the midterms. He said the agenda would emphasize lowering grocery, gas and housing costs and making health care affordable. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro joined Jeffries in rallying support for Democratic candidate Bob Brooks in the state’s 7th District; Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie planned his own 100-day event.
The article describes the election as a contest for House control, with a small number of competitive districts potentially determining the majority. It says Republicans are counting on President Donald Trump’s support and his signature tax-and-spending law, while Democrats aim to emphasize voter concerns about costs and disapproval of the war with Iran.
