Democrats are in a bad spot.
President Donald Trump and his team are going all-in to bring positive change to the government.
Instead of doing what they should be doing -- which is jumping aboard the train and doing something positive for once -- they're just flailing around attacking the Trump team.
Now they also seem to have some division and infighting about how they're responding to Trump.
On Sunday, on CNN's "State of the Union," Jake Tapper confronted the Democrat Minority Leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), with the remarks by his fellow Democrat, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, as Rebecca Downs at our sister site Townhall reported.
Tapper quoted Shapiro as saying, per The New York Times, that congressional Democrats "are failing to address the real concerns that people have. They're failing to do what is their fundamental responsibility constitutionally, to be a check." As Tapper himself added, "that's a pretty harsh assessment of Democrats' first month in the second Trump administration. What's your response?"
Jeffries didn't have much of a response, "I have no idea what the governor was talking about, so you're going to have to ask him for clarification." Then of course, he launched into an attack on Trump, claiming Trump's poll numbers were going down and that the Democrats were the ones who were trying to bring costs down. That despite all the actions Trump has taken and the fact that the reason prices went up to begin with was due in part to Biden's bad policy. Jeffries claimed that Trump was "unleashing chaos on the American people."
Jeffries lied about Republicans trying to cut Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare and claimed that Trump's policies were "deeply unpopular with the American people." That's when even Tapper dropped the brutal reality of the Congressional Democrats' approval rating. That "number is about 20 percent," Tapper said, citing a recent Quinnipiac poll. "So that's an issue for you."
Not only that, Trump has a positive job approval number in the RCP polling average at 49.4 to 47.5 percent, far higher than the approval for the Congressional Democrats. And that average includes all the liberal media polls.
The Harvard CAPS-Harris poll that just dropped has Trump at 52 percent approval. Not to mention that his policies are not only NOT "deeply unpopular," they are widely popular -- the exact opposite of what Jeffries claimed.
Among the popular items? Deportation, border security, and ferreting out waste, fraud, and abuse -- all the things that Democrats are flipping out about.
- 81% support deporting criminal illegal immigrants.
- 76% support a “full-scale effort to find and eliminate fraud and waste in government.”
- 76% support closing the border with additional security and policies.
- 69% support keeping men out of women’s sports.
- 63% support “freezing and re-evaluating all foreign aid expenditures and the department that handled them.”
- 61% support reciprocal tariffs.
Funny that, a Democrat lying yet again. Unfortunately, Jeffries isn't very good at this, as we've seen. He had problems last Sunday as well.
New Poll: Trump Agenda Wildly Popular With Americans
Did he even say anything in that whole clip Sunday that was true?
This just confirms how lost Democrats are at this point.
