Will Costa break from Jeffries or toe the party line?

October 21, 2025

House Democrat “Leader” Hakeem Jeffries just admitted he does not support a Senate billthat would ensure certain federal employees, including law enforcement and critical safety personnel, get paid during the shutdown. That’s a stunning statement from the man leading the party that caused this mess. Jeffries is now confirming what Americans already know: Democrats want the pain of their shutdown to continue.

Now the question Jim Costa should be asked is simple:
Does out of touch Democrat Jim Costa agree with Hakeem Jeffries?
Will Jim Costa stand with hardworking federal employees or toe the party line and block their pay?


“Democrats like Jim Costa caused this shutdown, and now their leader says he won’t even support paying the people still doing their jobs. House Republicans voted to keep the government open and pay workers. Democrats are prolonging the pain for political gain.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
