Democrat Hakeem Jeffries says he’s working with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. This comes after three Mamdani-endorsed socialist candidates unseated establishment NYC Democrats in Tuesday’s House primaries. The Democratic Socialist (DSA) primary winners are among the most extreme candidates ever to advance to a general election. But Jeffries isn’t worried about their anti-capitalism extremism; he believes that President Donald Trump and America-loving MAGA voters are the real extremists who need to be dealt with.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mayor Mamdani and I had a very good conversation. It was forward-looking. You know, it was authentic. It was candid. And I think we both have taken the position that there are going to be times where we may, as a congressional delegation, agree to strongly disagree with each other on endorsements. But at the same period of time, at all times, be committed to actually making life better and more affordable for the people in New York City and beyond. And in this moment of great extremism, it‘s an all-hands-on-deck approach. And so we‘ve got to come together, city, state, and federal government officials, in order to continue to do our best to get the job done. And that‘s sort of a commitment that I believe we all share as we move forward at this time.”
