House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Tuesday that he is on board with a proposal to have a conversation with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on C-Span.
“I look forward to that,” Jeffries told reporters in Washington.
quote:
“We’re going to try to get it scheduled, absolutely,” he promised, referencing a possible joint appearance on C-Span’s new program Ceasefire.
The development could set the two party leaders in the House up for a rousing debate over the government shutdown, which entered its 15th day on Wednesday.
Johnson has declared he has no intention of accepting Jeffries’s offer to do a public debate about the shutdown on the House floor.
“We debated all of this on the House floor, as you know, before we passed our bill,” a continuing resolution to keep the government open, the speaker said Monday. “He spoke for seven or eight minutes, he had all of his colleagues lined up, they gave it their best shot, and they argued, and they stomped their feet and screamed at us and all that.”

Jeffries wrists are going to be sore after the debate.

Make it happen. Should be interesting.

He is a moron with zero political instincts.

Jeffries won't do it. ...and the Democratic party wouldn't allow him to anyway.

I just saw Jeffries in a debate with Lawler and he didn't do very well. He had to get verbal and threatening.

None of the DEMs can debate.
Posted on 10/15/25 at 1:37 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
Debate to Dems means, lie, interrupt, get loud…. REPEAT

If this happens Johnson should wear a poncho and a sombrero.

Johnson : long, thoughtful statement with supporting facts and figures
Jeffries : calls him a racist

Hours of Jeffries talking over Johnson and saying nothing of substance is not a debate.
No thanks.

Probably not a good setting for Johnson. He's fairly timid and Jeffries will yell over him all night.
No one will win, both sides will say the other didnt play fair.

I'm not sure Jeffries thought this out very well. He is in an almost indefensible position. A huge mistake on his part.
Posted on 10/15/25 at 3:33 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
Johnson should say it wouldn't be productive given he doesn't speak Spanish.
Posted on 10/15/25 at 4:34 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
Temu Obama bout' to get steamrolled.

Jeffries: “You’re an embarrassment” over and over again
Posted on 10/15/25 at 4:36 pm to RogerTheShrubber
Nah. Johnson will 100% outclass and destroy Temu Obama. I would love to watch this one. It will be as bad or worse than JD with Tampon Tim.

The House passed the bill. Any debate should be between Schumer and Thune
