Jeffries critiques Senate Democrats, focuses on bipartisanship

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries addressed concerns about divisions within the party as Senate Democrats, including leader Chuck Schumer, prepare to vote on a funding bill with Republicans. Jeffries did not express support for Schumer during the press conference. Jeffries emphasized that House Democrats are ready to pass a month-long spending bill to keep the government open. He criticized the current funding proposal, stating it would harm the American people. Despite internal tensions, Jeffries and other House leaders remain focused on bipartisan efforts. They aim to negotiate a solution that meets the needs of the public, while downplaying the significance of Schumer's leadership.
