During a news conference on Capitol Hill, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries stated that internal discussions between House Democrats are “candid, comprehensive, and clear-eyed” as he answered a series of reporter questions on whether President Biden should continue in the presidential race amid growing concerns and public calls to step down from the campaign. In addition, Leader Jeffries discussed the Democratic agenda, criticized “Project 2025” and answered questions on his meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky, House Republicans failing to pass an appropriation bill to fund the legislature, and the upcoming Republican convention.
