House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) sidestepped a question about New Jersey’s disclosure that thousands of noncitizens were mistakenly registered to vote, instead criticizing President Donald Trump and Republicans over election messaging.

“I continue to have confidence in state and local authorities in making sure that there’s going to be a free and fair election in November,” Jeffries said on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday. “If modest or minor challenges emerge, such as the one that was disclosed voluntarily by the authorities in New Jersey, that it is immediately corrected.”
