NRCC Statement on Hakeem Jeffries’ Endorsement of Kamala Harris

July 23, 2024

The National Republican Congressional Committee released the following statement after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) formally endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency: 

“It’s official – House Democrats are running on a platform nationwide to remake America in the image of Kamala Harris’ San Francisco. Blowing open the border, spiking inflation, and setting off a nationwide crime wave wasn’t enough – Kamala would take every one of her Biden administration policy failures and make them even worse. As the most extreme progressive presidential nominee in history, Kamala Harris’ radical platform will tank the re-election hopes of vulnerable House Democrats from Alaska to Maine.” -NRCC Communications Director Jack Pandol

Kamala Harris’ extreme San Francisco progressive platform includes:

  • Support for decriminalizing illegal border crossings
  • Support for giving benefits to illegal immigrants
  • Support for defunding the police
  • Support for bailing out violent rioters
  • Support for pro-terrorist demonstrators
  • Support for trillion-dollar inflationary spending bills
  • Support for abolishing private health insurance
  • Support for banning fracking
