Sen. Booker and House Democratic Leader Jeffries hold anti-Trump sit-in on U.S. Capitol steps

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J. and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.J., are holding an anti-Trump sit-in on the Capitol steps Sunday.

Booker and Jeffries are speaking in opposition to the Trump administration's handling of several issues as well as the GOP budget reconciliation bill.

"This is a moral moment in America. Sitting on the Capitol steps with Leader Hakeem Jeffries this morning to discuss what’s at stake with Trump’s budget and affirm the need for collective action to protect Medicaid, food assistance, and other safety net programs. It only takes 4 Republicans in the House, or 4 in the Senate to stop this," Booker wrote on social media.

The sit-in began in the morning and it has continued into the evening with more people joining the two lawmakers, including Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del.
