Watch live: Jeffries speaks as GOP seeks to force Trump legislative agenda forward

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) will hold his weekly press conference Wednesday morning as his GOP colleagues in the Senate seek to advance President Trump's legislative agenda.

Jeffries joined fellow House Democrats Tuesday to rail against the Trump administration's cuts to the federal workforce and social programs such as Social Security and Medicaid.

Later Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced votes were canceled for the week after a vote on parental proxy voting led nine GOP lawmakers to side with Democrats against Johnson's effort to block the measure.

The press conference is scheduled to begin at 10:45 a.m. EDT.
