House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is scheduled to speak with reporters Monday afternoon as lawmakers return from their August recess. The week includes key votes, including a stopgap spending bill intended to avert a government shutdown. The briefing comes less than two months before the midterm elections, as Democrats seek to retake the House. Jeffries recently faced backlash over a private meeting with White House envoy Jared Kushner. The press conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. EDT, with live video available above.
