“House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is minimizing the significance of New York’s congressional primaries, telling reporters the ideological direction of his party won’t rest on a few House seats,” Axios reports.
“It is all part of a careful balancing act in which Jeffries is trying to stop a democratic socialist takeover while avoiding open conflict with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.”
Said Jeffries: “I don’t think we’re on opposite pages. You can ask him whether he thinks we’re on opposite pages. He doesn’t believe we’re on opposite pages.”
Washington Post: Mamdani is backing leftist candidates taking on incumbents in NYC.
