House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says he expects Democratic support for debt ceiling deal

President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced late Saturday that they had reached an agreement in principle to raise the debt ceiling. Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries tells "Face the Nation" that he expects his caucus to vote for the deal because it "protects" Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans and the "American people."

"Face the Nation" is America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program. The broadcast is one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television, having debuted November 7, 1954, on CBS. Every Sunday, "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan welcomes leaders, newsmakers, and experts to a lively round table discussion of current events and the latest news.

Journalists are so devoid of professionalism…they add absolutely nothing! No factual explanation or even asking intelligent questions and absolutely rude in failing to let the guest finish speaking

[suzandouglass]

I really hate how these interviewers try to "lead" the narrative with stupid speculations, and then throw the mic in your face and say " do you agree with this"?
CNN, FOX, MSNBC all do it. And "politics season" hasn't even really started 🙄

[PrometheanConsulting]

The WHITE HOUSE negotiated this deal with House Republicans, not the House Democrats. Briefed or not, those are not question Jeffries can answer FOR HIS CAUCUS without seeing the bill.

Interviewer is awful.

[lynnegillis]

It would be nice if the reporter here were not showing such obvious disdain for her guest by continuing to talk over him, and not allowing him to finish his answers.

[proudmamaboyz]

I was so annoyed with her while trying to hear Jeffries answer her questions with all her interruptions. She should let the audience hear the answers not just her questions.

[simplesayin-geef]

Boy, she did not let him finish his thought or speech interrupting him constantly! She was sort of rude and made it hard to want to watch this, the way she talked and how bad he was being treated!!!

[anthonymcneill]

If you do not have the time for a guest to adequately respond to your question without interruption, what's the purpose? In my view, it's disrespectful.

[karenanson]

Why was she so combative? Absolutely no need in this situation!

[GMAN]

The debt ceiling has become a theatrical exercise to stoke unnecessary anxiety & fear among the American people. I am mentally drained 😮 at this point.

[teekeys]

Dang... let him answer the dang question would ya

[Flowerhead]

THIS WOMAN... is very eager to talk over him. Howabout he's allowed to talk!? I WANT TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY and not just this woman trying to show the public how annoying she really is‼

[RobertEskew]

Margaret, I watch snippets of Face the Nation on YouTube because I'm interested in a specific guest or segment. However, my "go-to" Sunday news show is "Meet the Press." Why?
Chuck Todd is professional; you aren't. Chuck isn't rude to his guests; you are. Chuck listens to his guests' answers and then asks appropriate follow-up questions informed by those initial questions and answers; you only occasionally do.
Frankly, I find you intolerable.
John Dickerson is an outstanding moderator. He belongs in your chair.

[tommykrynock]

He talked to him yesterday afternoon and yet he can't remember the things he said to him .bunch of bs

[jaggillar]

Brennan needs to give HER VIEWERS time to hear the responses from guests before she interrupts the guest. ME? I need to quit thinking she will get better at her interviews and I need to quit tuning in.

[troymacdonald]

We will get this done together positive only. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[Goodmanliveforever]

She is rude and very disrespectful to him.

[ears]

Glad to see there is a budget🎉🎉, how good it is remains to be seen. Please, get rid of the bullies/extremists, there is no place for extremist in a Democratic drivern government

[halildalkiran]

Let the man speak, it's rude to interrupt like that and makes me want to stop watching

[thisismetoday]

Why make a deal on something the GOP is constitutionally required to do????!!
The premise of this entire discussion is ridiculous. Why are we once again buying into GOP narrative? I don’t get it. Every - single - time. The media and Democrats need to do better!!

[GeMiNiTv]

If she would just shut TF UP and let him answer the questions before you interrupt would be great GD‼️ We know you a republican, you cut him off every time he start talking about them MAGGOTS. I WOULD HAVE LEFT THAT INTERVIEW AFTER I CALLED HER OUT.
