The house minority manager Hakeem Jeffries (DN.Y.) also holds after the billionaire to ward off even after Elon Mousk Exceptional public complaint by President Trump and the domestic agenda of the GOP.
When asked whether Musk’s bitter break from Trump offers the Democrat the opportunity to form a strange alliance with the Tech Titan, Jeffries immediately shifted the conversation to the efforts of the Democrats to kill Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”.
“The opportunity that currently exists is to kill the GOP tax fraud,” Jeffries told reporters in the Capitol. “It is the legislation against which we have been strongly rejected from the start and which they are opposite. [GOP] Donor in a way that are fiscally irresponsible. “
After the top -class separation from Trump, Jeffries pressed again whether Musk should “resume” the Democratic Party after the top -class separation of Trump.
“Same answer,” he said.
Jeffries’ cautious comments demonstrate the limits of the venerable saying that the enemy of the enemy is the friend. They also emphasize the potential difficulties with which Democrats would be confronted if they were taking on a polarizing and national unpopular figure in Musk – one that they spent most of the last year with sedate expenses for Trump’s campaign and recently for his role in leading Trump’s efforts to lead the Federal Government.
Nevertheless, some Democrats say that Musk’s influence is essential that the Democrats should try to start their side in the Trump feud.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Which represents parts of the Silicon Valley, leads the load.
“If bids had criticized him, Trump had hugged him the next day,” Khanna Posted Thursday on the social platform Xwho is in possession of musk. “When we refused to meet @rebertkennedyjr, Trump hugged him and won him. We can be the party Heimtoyer lectures or the party of FDR, who knows how to create and build a progressive majority”, with reference to the former president Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Jeffries doesn’t go so far. But he greeted Musk’s attacks on Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” and the Republicans who voted for it. And he made Democrats with Musk feelings that the package put too much money on the federal debt, a number that the Congress budget office estimated at 2.4 trillion dollars.
“To the extent to which Elon Musk has made the same point that everyone who has voted for this calculation until this moment should be ashamed of himself,” said Jeffries. “And to the extent to which Elon Musk pointed out that the draft law is a” disgusting abomination “, we agree. To the extent that Elon Musk has made the observation of GOP tax fraud -that it is ruthless and responsible to explode the deficit by more than 3 US dollars, and that this can potentially set our country on the way to bankruptcy.”
“These are arguments that Democrats have been doing for months.”
