WASHINGTON (NBC News) — Less than 48 hours after President Donald Trump was inaugurated, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a closed-door meeting with Democratic lawmakers to issue a warning and a clarion call.

Jeffries, D-N.Y., urged members to focus their message on the cost of living, along with border security and community safety.
