The top Democrat in the House called it "extraordinary" Wednesday night as he slammed his Republican colleagues in the moments after they pulled a vote on the Senate's budget plan. After news broke that House Republicans were forced to pull the highly anticipated vote, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) told Raw Story that "deals are always being cut" at Capitol Hill.

"Only thing that is clear is that House Republicans are not working for the American people," Jeffries told reporters. "The extraordinary thing about this moment is that House Republicans have been unable to come to a conclusion about how much they should hurt the American people."

That includes, he said, how much healthcare can be taken away from Americans as well as "food from the mouths of children" to pass "massive tax breaks for their billionaire donors like Elon Musk."

"These Republicans are not serious," Jeffries railed. "For months they've lectured us, claiming they have a mandate. A mandate to do what? Take away health care? Enact the largest Medicaid cut in American history? They have no mandate for any of this which is why the American people are rejecting them in state after state after state."
