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

    If Jeffries is annoyed with you, you probably did something right. If your incumbents are just there to tow the party line, kiss corporate ass, kiss Netanyahu’s ass, and give, at most, flaccid resistance to the Republican agenda before bending to their will, they deserve to lose their seats. The few progressives we have need more numbers. I’ll happily sacrifice a few milquetoast party dems for progressives with a backbone and an agenda for change.
