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.”

    Direct democracy means every citizen votes on every thing. You’re the one that said direct democracy. It’s not my fault you don’t know what the words you’re using actually mean. You should work on that.

      Ah, but it is your fault that you don’t. The definition of direct democracy is not what you say it is. You have repeatedly made false claims. Where as I have not.
