<\/figure>\n\n\n\nRead highlights from the call below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n DNC Chair Ken Martin: \u201c<\/strong>After only six weeks on the job, Donald Trump is on the ropes. His economic approval rating is tanking. Consumer confidence is down, and prices are up. But he\u2019s the gaslighter-in-chief. We know he doesn\u2019t speak from a place of reality. Everybody on this call is working hard to hold Trump and the Republicans to account. And I\u2019m working nonstop to win elections \u2013including elections that are happening right now and throughout 2025. Because that\u2019s how we can send a real message to Republicans.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: <\/strong>\u201cWe have the Republicans on the run on three core issues. They are on the run in terms of the economy. In fact, Donald Trump and Republicans are crashing the economy in real time. Donald Trump gave one of the most divisive speeches by a president in American history. 100 minutes and he barely spent any time on the economy. Why? Because it\u2019s collapsing on his watch. They made promises with respect to lowering costs. Costs aren’t going down, they are going up. Inflation is going up. You know what\u2019s coming down? Donald Trump\u2019s poll numbers, because he is mismanaging the economy and the American people are feeling it\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe have them on the run in terms of health care \u2013 particularly as it relates to Medicaid. House Democrats stand on the side of Medicaid and the American people. Republicans are trying to enact the largest cut to Medicaid in American history, and we need to keep the pressure on them legislatively and in communities all across the country\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd we have them on the run with respect to the GOP Tax Scam, where they want to cut Medicaid, cut nutritional assistance for children and families, cut veterans\u2019 benefits, and potentially cut Social Security benefits by trying to decimate the Social Security Administration. We have to continue to call them out on their extremism \u2013 we will do that. And all of that is being done in service of trying to pass massive tax breaks for their billionaire donors like Elon Musk and wealthy corporations. So, we have them on the run and we\u2019re going to keep our foot on the gas pedal.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This evening, DNC Chair Ken Martin, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and House Democrats hosted a virtual call to action with grassroots Democrats where they discussed ways for Americans to get involved and hold Donald Trump and House Republicans accountable.
