Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the Democratic House leader, on Monday accused Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas of deliberately delaying a special election in a solidly Democratic district in Houston in order to cushion the House Republicans’ slim majority.

Any federal representative, house or senate, should be governed by Federal election law, not state law to ensure consistency.

Oh please. Democrats are controlled opposition. They just absolutely proved that by letting the GOP budget bill slide through. It's pathetic at this point in them trying to make it seem like they hate their fellow right-wingers pulling stuff like this.

You see Hakeem. This is how you use power. You are such a weak bitch you are scared of your own shadow. You are always on your needs begging Republicans to follow the rules. Keep crying and saying the Republicans are not playing fair. You are always looking for common ground Republicans don't care
