Jeffries Accuses Trump, GOP of Ignoring Cost-of-Living Crisis
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) Jeffries Accuses Trump and Republican lawmakers on Sunday, accusing them of failing to address America’s rising cost of living despite making it a central campaign pledge.
“Donald Trump and Republicans consistently promised they would lower the high cost of living, yet they’ve done the exact opposite. They’ve shown no interest in tackling rising costs in the United States, which are already too high,” Jeffries said during an interview on ABC News’s “This Week.”

Jeffries emphasized that essential expenses from housing and groceries to child care and utilities remain alarmingly high, making everyday life increasingly unaffordable for Americans.
“Housing costs are too high. Grocery costs are too high. Child care costs are too high. Utility costs are too high. The cost of living is too high in the United States. This country is too expensive. But Trump and the GOP have broken their promise they have no interest in improving the quality of life for hardworking taxpayers.”
He further criticized Republicans’ economic priorities, vowing that Democrats will resist any efforts to cut taxes for billionaires and large corporations at the expense of middle-class families.

“Costs aren’t lower. In fact, they’re increasing. The price of eggs is skyrocketing, and inflation is back on the rise. That was Trump’s core promise, and it has already been broken.”
As economic concerns grow, Jeffries signaled that Democrats will continue to challenge Trump and the GOP on issues impacting the financial security of American families.
