Hakeem Jeffries expresses willingness to collaborate with Trump on economic issues

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries expressed readiness to work with President-elect Donald Trump on issues like the high cost of living. He emphasized the need for bipartisan cooperation to address economic challenges facing Americans. Jeffries noted he has not yet spoken with Trump but expects to do so in the coming weeks. He highlighted the importance of finding common ground, especially as the new Congress will have a narrow Republican majority. Unlike his predecessor Nancy Pelosi, who had a contentious relationship with Trump, Jeffries aims for a more collaborative approach. House Speaker Mike Johnson will likely need Democratic support for key legislation due to the slim majority.
