Jeffries: No plans to impeach Trump at present, will prioritize lowering cost of living

BlockBeats news, November 5 - After the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party is poised to control both chambers of Congress. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries stated that no Democratic representative has yet requested him to impeach Trump, and the caucus has been focused on improving people's affordability and fulfilling its oversight responsibilities over the executive branch. The public hopes the new Congress will address practical issues rather than engage in political retaliation, and Democrats need to deliver on campaign promises and work to reduce spending in areas such as food, gasoline, housing, and healthcare.

Trump, meanwhile, expressed willingness to cooperate with Democrats. Democrats currently prefer to prioritize large-scale congressional investigations rather than immediately pushing for impeachment. Democratic Representative Robert Garcia, who is set to lead the House Oversight Committee, said he will investigate the Trump family's business dealings, corporate corruption allegations, and controversies related to the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Jeffries previously stated that Democrats have neither decided to initiate impeachment nor ruled it out, and that relevant actions should be based on facts, law, and the Constitution.
