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."

what is the interviewer's problem? How many times does he have to say the same thing? This some sort of CBS hit piece?

[soularddave]

Hardheaded interviewer. He explains that nobody has the details that define the "deal".

[adventuresconjuan]

With a divided government you have to work with both side!

[cecilelaforce]

Eesh, my least favorite reporter. She's interviewing a Speaker of Congress, but whatever she's thinking is more important. Such an immature communication style.

I understand this is yesterday literally news.. I am here all day. It went through yesterday.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Stop cutting off Hakeem. Not a professional.

[thomasreedy]

Not sure why the media is pressuring democratic leaders in the house. The original bill didn’t pass the senate.

So …. I think it would be more important to see if they were on board. After all these are McCarthy’s negotiations and his caucus that is causing this issue.

[carlosbarahona]

Wow such a rude reporter. Always interrupting! She is snapping with her tone in her voice.

[earnestbb]

I like Hakeem I just hate how he can’t speak without doing the most with his hands

[ramoncarvajal]

The new GGOP, generic grand old party.

[kashmoney]

Well the CBC is gonna always do whatever the party wants so he aint worried.

[jeffg]

Maybe spending less than you take from our taxes is a good starting point?
Just a thought.
…An American Taxpayer on a Budget

[maryfendley]

She is so rude!!! Doesn’t let him talk, doesn’t have good communication skill😮

[floydmayes]

It surprises me that Jefferies thinks that the Democrats will support this deal!

[alanking]

If the democrats vote for this bill and not enough republicans vote for it it will be considered a democrat win.

[optimalprimidius]

Id rather face a recession than to cave to confederate blackmail.

ZERO new border agents?
Sorry Hakeem, but I want default.
