National Politics with Congressman Jeffries
Hakeem Jeffries, U.S. Representative (NY-8), discusses the national political news of the day.
.@RepJeffries: We Democrats are not going to be reactionary. We're going to follow the evidence and then make a decision after we've received all the necessary information. Republicans are beating the impeachment drum bc they don't have an affirmative agenda to run on.

.@RepJeffries says the Democrats' agenda includes lowering healthcare costs & protecting people with preexisting conditions. Could do so by giving fed government ability to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for Medicare participants

.@RepJeffries says Lindsey Graham "has folded like a cheap suit"

.@RepJeffries strongly supports Gov Cuomo for reelection. On AG race, says of 4 qualified candidates, he's supporting Letitia James. Maloney would also be good. Teachout has "projected herself as a strong authentic progressive" but she has faced questions about past positions.
