EXCERPT:
DeLAURO: "Well, you said it, the fight is not over. And Democrats, and I believe that the House under leader Hakeem Jeffries, will lead the way on this effort and that, in fact, we’re going to continue to fight. We are going to fight against the unbelievable, devastating cuts to veterans, to seniors with regard to Social Security, with regard to nutrition and children, etc. It is just unconscionable, the direction that they are — that they are taking this country and dismantling the resources that we provide to the American people. And we will fight in the courts. The courts have been our friend. There are 120 lawsuits that have been filed, and there are 40 or 50 that we have won. And then the constituents, let me just tell you, because I think it’s important to note, the majority of the public disapproves of the way the president is handling the economy, and they disapprove of him overall. The constituents will rise up and be opposed to what they are doing. That’s what the Democrats' leverage will be all about."
