House Democrats Develop 100-Day Affordability Agenda After Midterms

House Democrats are developing a 100-day agenda focused on reducing costs for groceries, gas, and healthcare following midterm election victories. A primary goal of the plan is to reinstate Affordable Care Act healthcare tax credits that expired in 2025.

Hakeem Jeffries, the House Minority Leader, stated the party intends to deliver a "dramatic change in direction" starting on day one of the new Congress. While Democrats will officially take control in January, Republicans maintain control for the next two months. During this transition, analysts expect Democrats to stall any remaining Republican legislation.

President Donald Trump expressed a willingness to cooperate with Democrats, provided they are not "destructive." He noted that he is open to discussions but reminded the incoming House majority of his veto power.
