House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries unveiled an affordability agenda at a Pennsylvania campaign event as Democrats began a 100-day push toward the midterms. The event also highlighted the state’s importance in the contest for control of the House.
Jeffries presented the Democrats’ “Fighting for an Affordable America” agenda at a rally for Bob Brooks, a Democratic candidate seeking to unseat Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie in Pennsylvania’s 7th District. Jeffries said Democrats would focus on healthcare, living costs and the war in Iran as they try to win the House and hold President Donald Trump accountable.
The article describes Pennsylvania as a key battleground and notes that fewer than 20 House districts are considered genuine toss-ups. It says Republicans are counting on Trump’s support and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, while Democrats are emphasizing costs and voter disapproval of the Iran war. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has supported Democratic candidates in contested districts, and House Speaker Mike Johnson is preparing a fundraising and campaign trip for Republicans.
