House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told viewers of The Briefing on MS NOW on Thursday that extremists and radicals occupy the Trump administration.

Vice President JD Vance addressed a Republican midterm convention and urged voters to elect Republicans in November to prove the nation is not the property of radicals, career officials, or those who pay the most, but a inheritance from prior generations that his party will defend. Host Jen Psaki called the remarks dark and xenophobic and asked what they showed with slightly more than 50 days remaining before the vote.

Jeffries replied that Republicans cannot cite results or a plan to fix problems the public wants solved, so they instead deepen divisions. He said extremists currently hold power, radicals sit inside the Trump circle, they have transferred government functions to top payers and generated widespread corruption, and Democrats pledged to start holding those involved responsible as soon as they take office.
