The House minority leader told CNN the mayor is going to have to patch things up with congressional Democrats follow 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.”

    True. He’s essentially controlled opposition. But even so, he’s terrible at the job he was hired to do: corralling the Dem vote. As shitty as Nancy Pelosi was, at least she knew how to keep her people in line. Jeffries can’t even manage that. I would call him useless, but if he were simply useless, that would actually be better. He’s actively harmful.
