LEADER JEFFRIES: "IT'S TIME TO PUT THE POLITICAL STUNTS ASIDE AND SUPPORT AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS"

Press Conference

"Good morning everyone. Yesterday, the sham impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas was defeated on the House Floor in a victory for decency, democracy and determination to put the American people's interests first, and to put aside sham political stunts that has been the focus of this House Republican majority from the very beginning of this Congress. The American people deserve more common sense, less chaos, less confusion and less cult-like behavior.

This is a period of divided government, which means common sense dictates that, in order to get things done on behalf of the American people, Democrats and Republicans should be working together to find common ground in order to deliver real results for the American people on issues of importance like the economy, affordability, public safety and national security. From the very beginning of this Congress, House Democrats have made clear that we are ready, willing and able to find common ground with our Republican colleagues to advance bills in a bipartisan fashion that deliver real results for the American people.

On the national security front, it's time to put the political stunts aside and to come together as Democrats and Republicans so we can support America's national security interests, our military readiness, along with our allies throughout the world, including Israel, Ukraine and in the Indo-Pacific. My hope is that's exactly what will take place in the Senate, and in a few days in the House of Representatives."
