YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHouse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee are holding a hearing Thursday morning on President Trump’s economic agenda: From rising health care premiums to high prices to cost of living concerns.
Trump has bristled at the topic of affordability — something that made headlines following Democrats’ key wins in the 2025 elections and during the government shutdown — calling the subject a Democratic “con job.” Despite rising inflation and uncertainty around his trade moves, the president has touted his economic policies.
Jeffries and other top Democrats have also criticized Trump and Republicans over expiring health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. Lawmakers have become increasing pessimistic of reaching a bipartisan deal ahead of a Christmas deadline.
The event is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. EST.
