House Democrats plan a first 100-days agenda if they sweep to power in midterm elections
Lisa Mascaro reports for AP News that House Democrats, out of power since 2023, are preparing a first 100-days agenda for the November 2026 midterms focused on affordability — reinstating Affordable Care Act tax credits, reversing Republican Medicaid cuts and Trump's tariffs, and pushing war powers votes on the Iran conflict — alongside investigations of President Trump and his administration. Hakeem Jeffries, in line to be the first Democratic speaker since Nancy Pelosi, says Democrats will be united "right out of the gate," while Mike Johnson says Republicans would continue their tax- and spending-cut agenda.
