Before the Senate’s vote, the Democratic Directorate of the House held a press conference where the head of the Hakeem Jeffries minority explained why the Democrats of the Chamber were almost unanimously opposed to CR.
Jeffries said: “The democratic position of the room is very clear. We firmly oppose all efforts to reduce the health care of the American people, social benefits and nutritional assistance, which are all in the partisan republican bill. We will continue to support Social Security, Maladie, Medicaid, benefits and public schools. At the same time, Donald Trump and the Republicans of the Chamber are trying to take a chainsaw with these important priorities of the American people. »»
