Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) contended abortion is of top concern heading into the election this November as it could lead to a domino effect for the Democratic Party‘s platform.
The House minority leader appeared for a 60 Minutes interview airing Sunday, attempting to make a case for more Democratic candidates to win seats in the chamber this fall.
“[Abortion is] gonna be an incredibly significant issue. Because on its own, it’s about freedom, and the extreme MAGA Republicans have set in motion the erosion of reproductive freedom. We’re going to fight for it with everything that we’ve got at our disposal,” Jeffries said. “If Roe v. Wade can fall, anything can fall. Social Security can fall. Medicare can fall. Voting rights can fall. And God help us all, but democracy itself can fall.”
