Rep.-elect Don Leonard of Ohio said Tuesday that “senior members of the Democratic House” have threatened to make his life “a living hell” unless he backs, without conditions, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to be the next Speaker of the House.

Dear NYC DSA, it’s time to primary Jeffries.
At present, the only person who could possibly pull that off is Mamdani, if he wants it.
Which, if we got Mamdani ousting Jeffries and AOC ousting Schumer in 2028, that would be massive.
Depends which tree Mamdani wants to scale from here — Federal, or State (his journey ending with Governor and no further). Alternatively, he could choose to eye Gilibrand’s Senate seat. Nice bit of redemption for how she snubbed him too.
