Watch live: Jeffries, Dem leaders make case against GOP budget plan

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) alongside other Democrats will give remarks Tuesday afternoon as their Republican colleagues press forward with a budget resolution that seeks to push through President Trump's legislative agenda.

Democrats remain united in their quest to block the GOP-led budget plan, and Jeffries urged all of those in the party to be in the chamber for the anticipated vote. With full attendance, Republicans can only afford to lose the support of one GOP lawmaker, which the New York Democrat said makes their presence "pivotal."

Jeffries has also vowed to use the March 14 government shutdown deadline as a vehicle to block Trump's early moves to gut federal programs.

The press event, which has been floated as a protest, is scheduled to begin at noon EST.
