House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries unveiled an affordability agenda at a Pennsylvania rally supporting congressional candidate Bob Brooks, 100 days before the midterm elections. The event was part of Democrats’ effort to regain the House, where control is expected to turn on a small number of competitive seats.
Jeffries introduced the Democratic Party’s “Fighting for an Affordable America” agenda at a rally in Pennsylvania for Bob Brooks, who is challenging Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie. Jeffries said Democrats would focus on health care cuts, the cost of living and the war in Iran, and argued that a Democratic House would stand up to President Donald Trump.
The article describes Pennsylvania’s 7th District as a key battleground and says fewer than 20 House seats are considered toss-ups. Gov. Josh Shapiro campaigned for Democrats in contested districts, while Mackenzie and House Speaker Mike Johnson were also preparing campaign events or travel. Republicans hope the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will help their candidates; Democrats hope to focus voters on costs and disapproval of the war.
