Jeffries Weighs How to Handle Trump

“President Donald Trump said after Tuesday’s midterm drubbing he wants to ‘work with’ Democrats. Now Hakeem Jeffries has to decide if his party will play ball,” Politico reports.

“As he prepares to lead a massive House Democratic majority, perhaps the presumptive speaker’s toughest call will be how to handle Trump. After years of dismissing and denigrating the president, Jeffries has to weigh varying opinions inside his caucus: Some, including incoming red-district freshmen, want to attempt collaboration, while plenty of others want total war.”
