Jeffries sucks up to Dem Socialist insurgents who want his head on a stick
July 6, 2026 | Chris Donaldson
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is sucking up to the openly socialist candidates who won their recent primaries, delivering a shocking blow to the Democratic establishment, especially to himself.
On a night that signaled the Democratic Party is on the verge of a full socialist takeover, two sitting members of Congress who were endorsed by Jeffries got ousted by candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, solidifying his status as a kingmaker. Two other leftists also won their races.
Former NYC comptroller Brad Lander and political newcomer Darializa Avila Chevalier, who were both backed by Hizzoner, booted Reps. Dan Goldman (D-NY) and Adriano Espaillat (D-NY), leaving Jeffries with egg on his face and a target on his back as chants of “you’re next” broke out at victory celebrations.
But “Dollar Store Obama” tried to make nice with the insurgents, which is akin to attempting to curry favor with a lion before it eats you.
