Hakeem Jeffries Scrambles For Response After ABC News Host Tells Him How Popular Trump Is

House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries tried to criticize President Donald Trump and his administration on Sunday on ABC News after host Jonathan Karl pushed him over the president’s popularity among voters.

Just weeks after his second term, Trump and his administration push to fulfill their presidential campaign promises for Americans, with CBS News votes released on February 9th, with Trump at a 53% high has shown that the approval rate has been reached. On ABC News’ “This Week,” Carl asked Jeffries about the new national survey conducted by Marquette Law School.

“Do you ever see what Trump supports, what you think is right?” Carl asked.

“We’re just the first because it relates to all of these issues,” Jeffries said. “The core promise Donald Trump made is that he cuts the costs of everyday Americans. In fact, he was told that grocery prices would drop on the first day on January 20th. The cost was It’s not low. In fact, the cost is increasing. The price of eggs is out of control. Inflation is on the way. That was a broken core promise.”

In 2022, Jeffries spoke to advocate for the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) on the house floor. Claim It “cuts energy costs, brings intense urgency to the climate crisis and sets the planet in sustainable orbit.” However, after Biden signed the $740 billion law in August 2022, the Economist said. agreed that the IRA did little to support Americans struggling with the economy as inflation remains high.

According to a survey by Marquette Law School carried out From January 27th to February 5th, 63% of the 1,018 adults voted in favour of the federal government’s perception of only two genders. Additionally, 60% are in favor of deporting illegal immigrants, 60% support expanding oil and gas production, and 59% declare a national emergency as there are a large number of immigrant crossings under the Biden-Harris administration I support doing it.

Jeffries went on to say that while he agrees that the US needs to “securing borders,” Democrats will continue to protect illegal immigrants who “help” “prosperity” within the country.

“When it comes to immigration, you need to hear and secure borders. There’s a broken immigration system and you need to fix it in a comprehensive, bipartisan way,” Jeffries added. “At the same time as Democrats, we will protect dreamers, farm workers, and families where communities across the country will flourish.”

Since Trump’s November victory, Democrats have struggled to regain a unified message, and it appears that party members are divided into top priorities. While votes consistently showed voters were most interested in immigration, the economy and inflation during the election, former vice president Kamala Harris struggled to connect with the majority of voters. Her policies, including those that appear to be focused on race while trying to appeal to black business owners, led to voters and reduced party performance among major voting blocks .

A recent CBS poll showing Trump’s high approval shows that 70% of respondents say the president is fulfilling his campaign promise. Of those surveyed, 49% said Trump was doing more than expected, while 41% said he was doing the same thing he expected, and felt he was doing more than expected. It was only 9%.
