Minority Leader Jeffries Holds Weekly Press Conference At The Capitol

WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 17: U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) says, "That's a decision for the Senate Republicans to make. As Chair Aguilar just indicated, as Katherine Clarke has indicated, Republicans are on the run. They have nothing good to sell to the American people. The one big, ugly bill hurts everyday Americans to reward billionaires and wealthy corporations with massive tax breaks," as (L-R) U.S. House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA) and U.S. House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-CA) look on during a press conference in the U.S. Capitol on July 22, 2025 in Washington, DC.
