House Democratic leaders will speak with reporters Tuesday morning as lawmakers continue to sharpen their political message heading into the 2026 midterm elections. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (Calif.) and others are also likely to rail against the U.S. military's escalated strikes in Iran and continued aid to Israel. Democrats in the upper chamber have signaled another war powers resolution is on the way. Republicans' push to move President Trump's domestic agenda forward with another stopgap funding bill is also likely to raise scrutiny among Democrats as the lower chamber of Congress looks to avoid another government shutdown. #housedemocrats #hakeemjeffries #peteaguilar
