Hakeem Jeffries Asked Point Blank: 'If You Become Speaker, Will You Vow To End The Iran War?'

Trump is also saying that he wants this election to be about him. He said, vote like I'm on the ballot. He is suggesting he could be in a few dozen battleground districts as well. Do you want Trump on the campaign trail? Yes. And the reality is, Donald Trump is effectively on the ballot. His failed economic policies are on the ballot. The Trump tariffs, which have increased costs on everyday Americans by thousands of dollars per year, on the ballot. His one big ugly bill that ripped Medicaid away from about 14 million Americans, that's on the ballot. The Epstein coverup is on the ballot. The failure of this administration to actually keep its promise not to start wars in the Middle East, but to stop them is on the ballot because they turned around and did the exact opposite with the reckless war of choice in Iran. So certainly Republican policies are on the ballot. The Democratic vision to make life more affordable for the American people, that's on the ballot as well. I do want to ask you about the Wall Street Journal. It's reporting that President Trump has told aides he expects to resume bombing Iran after the midterm election. So if you become speaker, will you bow to end the Iran war? Absolutely. In fact, we've made that clear. We've now successfully, on the House floor, passed three different war powers resolutions to end this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran. That's in the best interest of the American people. Well, listen, we'll deal with the appropriations process when we deal with the appropriations process. Right now, the mechanism that is in front of us will be to aggressively move war powers resolutions until we end this war in the best interest of the American people.
