Jeffries: Republicans have 'nothing to run on' as Democrats focus on affordability

Jeffries argued that Republicans are attempting to distract voters by focusing on issues like noncitizen voting, rather than addressing the rising costs of everyday necessities. He specifically criticized President Donald Trump's administration for policies that he claims have led to increased prices for gas and groceries, partly due to the war in Iran.

The Democratic strategy, as presented by Jeffries, includes repealing Republican tax cuts, which he stated amounted to over $1 trillion, and ending tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. The party's focus is on making life more affordable for Americans struggling with expenses such as healthcare, child care, and utilities.

Recent forecasts suggest that Democrats are likely to secure a majority in the House of Representatives, though Republicans are narrowly favored to retain control of the Senate.
