Speaking with on Friday, Jeffries was asked twice by NPR’s Michel Martin how he would work with candidates who defeated Democrats he had backed in New York primaries. Each time, Jeffries returned to President Donald Trump and the GOP agenda, saying Democrats are focused on flipping Republican-held seats in November, lowering costs and opposing what he called “MAGA extremism.” He added that the House Democratic caucus has long included progressives, New Democrats and Blue Dogs.<\/p>\n
