House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries Scrambles For Response After ABC News Host Tells Him How Popular Trump Is
Story by Hailey Gomez • 13h
Hakeem Jeffries attempted to criticize President Donald Trump and his administration Sunday on ABC News after host Jonathan Karl pressed him about the president’s high popularity among voters.
Just weeks into his second term, Trump and his administration have pushed to fulfill the president’s campaign promises to Americans, with a CBS News poll released Feb. 9 showing Trump reaching his highest approval rating of 53%. On ABC News’ “This Week,” Karl asked Jeffries about a new national survey conducted by Marquette Law School, which found that a majority of adults support many of Trump’s top issues.
“Is there anything you are seeing that Trump is doing that you are in favor of, that you think is the right thing?” Karl asked.
“Let me say, as it relates to all of those issues, we’re just at the beginning,” Jeffries said. “The core promise that Donald Trump made is that he’s going to lower costs for everyday Americans. In fact, we were told that grocery prices would go down on day one, on January 20th. Costs aren’t lower, in fact, costs are increasing. The price of eggs is skyrocketing out of control. Inflation is on the way up. That was the core promise that’s been broken.”
