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.”
congress serves the people, not their dem friends. The People
They work for us.
The only power they have is because we LET them have it.
Most of them need to be reminded. Very very much.
U mad, bro?
If Jeffries is annoyed with you, you probably did something right. If your incumbents are just there to tow the party line, kiss corporate ass, kiss Netanyahu’s ass, and give, at most, flaccid resistance to the Republican agenda before bending to their will, they deserve to lose their seats. The few progressives we have need more numbers. I’ll happily sacrifice a few milquetoast party dems for progressives with a backbone and an agenda for change.
Hey Hakeem, tough titties shitbird. Read the room, your time has past.
How long did Jeffries wait to endorse Mamdani as the NYC mayoral candidate?
Maybe it stings that Mamdani’s successes so far have come despite support from Democrat leadership. Just shows what taking your job as a public servant seriously can do.
no the incumbent dems should be scared, very scared. he just showed the rest of the country how to take them down. It’s time to get to work.
Mr Jeffries,
I am appalled that you, or any Democrats, think that you get to pick who it is that we, the people, vote for. You are a representative for us. You need to smooth things over with the American people because these others were voted in not because Mamdani is a cult of personality, but because they are doing and saying things the people like and want.
When you and the party can do something successfully, such as codify LGBTQ rights (I.e., gay marriage, trans rights, etc), eliminate corporate government influence, ensure proper health care, and a laundry list of other things then maybe we can take you and your “preferred choices” seriously. Until then, watch change happen from the people that actually have to be in the trenches dealing with all of the American government’s fuckery. Please sit down, kindly shut up, and do your job of representing the people’s needs and not presenting your next potential colleague.
Sincerely,
An American Voter in Illinois
Ah yes the house Democrats known for their fervor, backbone and hard fought results.
You can’t even threaten an enemy properly and you are gonna threaten a fellow Democrat? Fuckin traitors. And they would be dealt with accordingly.
It makes more sense when you realize they’re just the paid opposition party all these years. It explains all the ratchet effects and lack of real social progress.
The DNC is scared. They see what happened to the old guard Republicans (centrist) they started losing to more right leaning candidates. Now those leaders are gone and we have a crazy right leaning “leadership” in power. The DNC doesn’t want that to happen to them as well. Yet, I think it’s inevitable, we’ve swung too far right and there is too much pent up anger for the centrist to keep power.
They aren’t centrists though. They aren’t anything really. They are all bought and paid for by Israel.
Why do we send them billions every month? Because it reaches them, they skim off the top, and put much it directly in the pockets of congress. How else do they leave office rich? It’s a giant money laundering scheme at our expense.
Here’s hoping the endorsements keep coming and House corpo losers will have to “smooth things over” with Mamdani. Fuck Jeffries.
Hey Jeffy, get fucked.
The absolute best thing that could happen to the Democratic Party would be for Mamdani to become the Boogeyman, the new Pelosi or Hillary Clinton.
He needs to be the one person that Fox News slanders daily, who every Republican child grows up learning to reflexively identify as the Liberal Villain.
Whe? Because he’s a man and having a man as that target instead of a woman (AOC etc) should be worth 3-4 points in every election. We use their sexism against them, and we use his religion to honey-pot these fascist halfwits into making Mamdani the public face of the party.
So yeah, this fight with Jeffries? HUGE WIN for Mamdani. He probably gained more power today than he gained when he took office.
I don’t want a new pelosi or hillary or kamala. Those 3 are the same people. Give me AOC, Michelle Obama, Crockett…
That’s because you’ve missed my point entirely.
The point is that there is always someone who the right treats as the EVIL LIBERAL STEPQUEEN. Regardless of her politics, that’s what they do.
Having a man in that role lessens the effect, so it’d be good if we do that.
This has nothing to do with anyone’s left-liberal-moderate politics and everything to do with the vast, right-wing propaganda machine that we have to work around.
In case anyone is having trouble deciphering BillCheddar-speak. He thinks we should continue catering to the sexist and bigot vote because he’s a moderate who doesn’t want to see progressives and leftists get elected.
Christ, you’re an idiot in every single channel here.

Mamdani don’t give a fuck
