Hakeem Jeffries' take: Inside the funding fight

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries comes to the Punchbowl News Townhouse for an exclusive interview projecting confidence. Shutdown showdown: Jeffries insists Republicans will own a government shutdown, but hopes that progress could be made over the next five days. Redistricting: The House minority leader doesn't see “any circumstance” where Republicans will net 10 new seats by November 2026. The Mamdani of it all: Jeffries still hasn't endorsed Zohran Mamdani for the New York City mayoral election. Plus, Heather Caygle, Punchbowl News' managing editor, and Sarah Ferris, CNN Capitol Hill reporter, join for a post-interview conversation.
