Jeffries is noted for his ability to work with Democrats across the caucus and Republicans on shared goals. Considered a centrist, he has said he is willing to work with Republicans "whenever possible, but we will also push back against extremism whenever necessary." - this part is extremely biased and subjective, and there are no links pinned. It goes against principles of objectivity and neutral point of view Ruhrob (talk) 12:13, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The information on Jeffries' stance on LGBTQ rights needs to be updated. Regardless of the fact that NDAA 2025 is technically described as a "defense bill", there has been extensive public discussion on anti-trans provisions inserted by the GOP. 7 citations were given in this edit which was reverted by several editors with no justification.
The majority of Democrats voted Nay (Jeffires voted Yea). The Nay voters have gone on record that the anti-trans provisions, and not the overall spending provisions, were the reason for voting Nay. To cite them all would take up a lot of room on this page so just citing one typical example: "Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, took the extraordinary step of voting against the legislation that he had helped to craft in response to the addition of the anti-transgender provision"
The politically expedient explanation is that "there were other considerations", but other congress members' statements as well as media coverage make it clear that this bill was intended as, and has been widely recognized as, an LGBTQ rights issue of public significance. I will concede that reasonable people can disagree on whether Jeffries' Yea vote on the bill means he's no longer a "supporter", but to completely erase it from his record is bad faith editing. It ought at least to be taken into account in any discussion of whether his record can be reduced to "pro" or "anti" LGBTQ. Anon.h4ging9bqe (talk) 23:44, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
None of the sources cited characterize Jeffries' vote on the NDAA as being motivated by LGBTQ issues. The proposed addition reads like undue POV-pushing based on OR and synth. Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 16:34, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
