House Dems promise to fight 'extreme' Republican plans after reelection

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : Jeffries, rewarded with the minority leader's role for a second time despite the fact that Democrats failed to secure a House minority during this year's election, said that he and his colleagues are prepared to work with the Republican majority, but that they will "push back against far-right extremism whenever necessary.""We will protect the things that the American people have made clear matter to them: protect Social Security, protect Medicare, protect the Affordable Care Act, protect the progress that has been made in the context of the climate crisis, protect our veterans, and protect a woman's freedom to make her own reproductive healthcare decisions," Jeffries said.President-elect Donald Trump, during his campaign, pushed back on assertions he wanted to alter Social Security or Medicare, instead promising to end taxes of Social Security payments.
38% : Democratic lawmakers in the House say they will stand against the Trump Administration's plans to mess with popular safety net programs like Social Security and Medicare, or any other part of the "far-right" agenda offered by Republicans in the 119th Congress.
22% : "If the idea is that they are going to cut Medicare and Social Security, our education system and public schools -- that they are going to take food programs away from hungry children in order to give corporations an even bigger tax break -- they're going to have a fight on their hands from House Democrats," Clark said.
