The House minority leader told CNN the mayor is going to have to patch things up with congressional Democrats following Tuesday's primary upsets.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) says New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is going to have to smooth things over with congressional Democrats after backing several progressive candidates who ousted incumbents during Tuesday’s primary elections.

Asked if Mamdani’s endorsements were making him “enemies” with Democrats in Washington, D.C., Jeffries told CNN that he and Mamdani “strongly” disagreed over his primary picks ahead of Election Day.

Now, according to Jeffries, the mayor has serious “work to do in terms of the conversations that he’s going to have with members of Congress moving forward.”

    what an empty shell of a person he was.

    That’s his purpose…

    He was handpicked by Pelosi, and a biased DNC threatened to bankrupt any state party who’s reps didn’t vote for him.

    The current DNC has been dumping that money back on state parties for almost two years now. Even if someone thought they might pull the same shit, they won’t have the funds to do it by then, and the state parties are already funded.

    The “victory fund” was the stick neoliberals used, and Martin broke it into pieces and passed it around. It the bottom up structure the Dem party was always meant to have.
