JEFFRIES: ALL LEGISLATIVE OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE: The pressure is on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to find a way to bypass House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to bring the $95 billion foreign aid bill that sailed through the Senate 70-29 to a vote on the House floor, where it would surely also pass with a wide bipartisan majority.

“There are clearly more than 300 members of the House of Representatives, the overwhelming amount of Democrats and a significant number of Republicans, who would support the national security legislation, were it to receive an up-or-down vote on the floor of the House,” Jeffries said on CNN yesterday.
