House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and socialist mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani finally sat down Friday for the first time since New York City’s primary — but the Democratic nominee left without an endorsement.
In a lukewarm statement, Jeffries called the pair’s hourlong meeting in his Brooklyn stomping grounds “constructive,” but did not indicate whether he would throw his weight behind the lefty candidate.
“We don’t really know each other well,” he has said. Jeffries has said Mamdani needs to “clarify” his stance on “Globalizing the Intifada” — a controversial phrase in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Gotta say I’m really concerned how posts are using a right wing trash tabloid as a source.
Glad you’re not concerned about Jeffries refusing to endorse Mamdani. Are you saying the quote marks and claims made are false?
Odds are, the NYP ran the article specifically to expand unrest in the Democratic party. The grievance is legitimate, but yeah, not the best source to read about it from.
