Democratic leader Jeffries heads to Speaker Johnson's home state to decry cuts in Trump's tax law

The top House Democrat plans a town hall in Louisiana, home to Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and his deputy, to rally against the health care cuts in the GOP bill that President Donald Trump signed into law. Led by New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Democrats are taking their case about Trump’s signature second-term domestic policy priorities directly to the people with the event Thursday evening in Democratic-heavy New Orleans. It's outside the districts represented by Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise. Democratic leaders believe the new law will sway voters before the 2026 midterms elections and help the minority party make gains in Congress.
