New polling suggests Democrats have a realistic chance of reclaiming the House majority in the upcoming midterms, which could position House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to take on the role of Speaker. Should they secure control, key legislative battles over economic policy, federal spending, and President Trump’s priorities would likely dominate the next Congress. Jeffries recently addressed these challenges in an interview with CNN’s Geoff Bennett, offering insight into his approach to leadership and governance. The outcome could reshape the balance of power in Washington and set the stage for major political and policy debates ahead.


The latest polling shows Democrats with a solid shot of regaining control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. If they do, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries could become Speaker of the House, with debates over the economy, government spending, and President Trump's agenda all unfolding. Jeffries joined Geoff Bennett to discuss those issues.
