Jeffries Puts a Price on 'Out-of-Control Corruption'

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said there is “a cost to the American people of the out-of-control corruption,” PBS NewsHour reports. The same report notes the contingency attached to the criticism: Jeffries is in line to become House speaker if Democrats win control at the Capitol. The line lands differently depending on which half you read first — an accusation about what the government is costing people, delivered by someone whose ability to act on it depends on an election he hasn't won yet.
