Hakeem Jeffries on the GOP reconciliation bill and more

The House Minority Leader joins Slow Boring

I had the opportunity to speak briefly with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries yesterday. His main goal was to talk about the Republican budget reconciliation bill that will cut taxes, cut Medicaid and SNAP, and raise interest rates by increasing the deficit — though with quantities as yes unknown.

But we also talked a bit about the Knicks playoff run, about midterm recruiting, and about how he wants to introduce himself and re-introduce the Democratic Party to the country.
