Hakeem Jeffries unveiled a Democratic affordability agenda at a Pennsylvania campaign event as the party began its final 100-day push before the midterms. The event also backed Bob Brooks, whose district is among the battlegrounds that could help decide control of the House.
Jeffries said Democrats would focus on restoring health care cuts, lowering living costs and ending the war in Iran. He argued that returning Democrats to control of the House would give them a way to speak up for Americans and oppose President Donald Trump. The event was held in Pennsylvania’s 7th District in support of Democratic candidate Bob Brooks, who is challenging Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie.
The article describes the race for House control as hinging on a small number of competitive districts. It says Republicans hope the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and a measure limiting lawmaker stock trading will help them, while Democrats are seeking to focus voters on costs and the war in Iran. House Speaker Mike Johnson was preparing a fundraising and campaign trip for Republican candidates.
