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.”

    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.
