If They Win the Midterms, House Democrats Are Preparing a 'First 100 Days' Agenda, Jeffries Says
Washington — House Democrats are preparing a 'first 100 days' agenda on the condition that they win the November 3 midterm elections and retake the House majority, the Associated Press reported on October 14. It is a conditional agenda that would only be launched if Democrats win. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said his party would be united as it begins its work.
Under the agenda being prepared, opening priorities would include restoring Affordable Care Act tax credits, reversing Republican cuts to Medicaid, holding a vote on the Iran war, and overturning Trump's tariff regime. The agenda is planned to begin within the first 100 hours after the new Congress is seated next January.
Jeffries has set up five working groups — on health care, housing, groceries and goods, gasoline and utilities, and care — each co-led by a progressive and a moderate. Jeffries told the Associated Press that fighting for an affordable America is what unites Democrats, and that the cost of living is too high.
Meanwhile, the top Democrats on the House Oversight and Judiciary committees are preparing investigations into Trump, his family and his administration. Jeffries said impeachment is neither on the table nor ruled out. If Democrats win the midterms, Jeffries would be in line to become the first Democratic speaker of the House since Pelosi.
