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.”

    I agree that nearly no countries are direct democracies. But most people don’t really know the difference. Just look how many people assume trump was the choice of the majority of americans. They don’t know what the elctoral college even does. They think that they are in a direct democrqcy, though they don’t know the name.

    Cynicisim itself does not mean one doesn’t participate in the process. I onow how it work, I know how badly the cards are stacked against me, but I vote anyway. And I read up on the local elections to make an informed decision. But I know that of the few who do vote, the majority don’t spend much time reading up on cadadites.

    And the establishment wins not because it is better organized, but because it has contol of more money.
