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.”

    That’s because you’ve missed my point entirely.

    The point is that there is always someone who the right treats as the EVIL LIBERAL STEPQUEEN. Regardless of her politics, that’s what they do.

    Having a man in that role lessens the effect, so it’d be good if we do that.

    This has nothing to do with anyone’s left-liberal-moderate politics and everything to do with the vast, right-wing propaganda machine that we have to work around.
