House Democrats plan 100-days agenda if they win midterms

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 05:32 · Archive

House Democrats are preparing a 100-days agenda focused on affordability and Trump administration oversight if they win the midterm elections.

House Democrats are preparing an ambitious 100-days agenda if they win majority control of the House in next month's midterm elections. The party plans to focus on delivering campaign promises centred on making life more affordable and conducting oversight of the Trump administration.

Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, in line to become House speaker if Democrats win, said the party will be united on several priorities. These include reinstating Affordable Care Act tax breaks, reversing Republican Medicaid cuts, holding votes against the Iran war and undoing President Trump's tariff regime. The agenda will launch in the first 100 hours once the new Congress is seated in January.

Jeffries said the overarching goal is 'fighting for an affordable America'. "The cost of living is way too high and far too many people who are working hard, playing by the rules, can't thrive and can barely survive," he said at Democratic campaign headquarters. The agenda reflects voter sentiment driving the midterm election, as Americans wrestle with affordability concerns and inflationary costs. Democrats have been out of power in the House since 2023.
