And on the Epstein Files. It's no offense to Mamdani - but we need the Minority Leaders standing up for Democracy. Not engaging on city politics. His district won or not.

Many of us are in red districts in Blue States and I need him (Minority LEADER) to look out for us. We have NO representation in the House.

Dear Hakeem - Drop this issue. Don't engage. Don't take media bait. They ask you about the race?
"Well here's what I know. None of the people that ran in the Democratic Party Primary in June are in the Epstein Files. Did you know there are credible accusations that Trump raped a 13 year old?"

The media is looking for a Dems in Disarray Story - instead of just one asking Krasnov "What the fuck are you talking about you boces reject!?!?"

Or he could just endorse Mamdani and that would end that issue instead of refusing to do so, Nanjeanne Jul 2025 #3

I disagree JustAnotherGen Jul 2025 #4

Actually it's an issue for ME - a Democrat who is appalled that Jeffries refuses to endorse the chosen Dem candidate. Nanjeanne Jul 2025 #7

If that is your criteria, you must hate everyone in the Democratic Party... W_HAMILTON Jul 2025 #9

To me - you know - someone who actually lives in NYC, choie Jul 2025 #11

Gee, I wonder how many of those upset with Jeffries lack of endorsement were this upset when Tlaib not only refused lostincalifornia Jul 2025 #27

I have the same feeling when a Democrat encourages people to not support our party's nominee... Oopsie Daisy Jul 2025 #12

I have no problem with primary protest votes. They can help form strategy in general election. Nanjeanne Jul 2025 #14

It's sabotage that helps the GOP. Oopsie Daisy Jul 2025 #20

Ok. Thanks for your opinion. Everyone is allowed to have one. Nanjeanne Jul 2025 #22

Oh, you're very welcome. 🙄 Oopsie Daisy Jul 2025 #26

Why would any Democrat pay attention to Hunter Biden? muriel_volestrangler Jul 2025 #19

Because he confirmed what we knew all along JustAnotherGen Jul 2025 #21

Oh, OK - I missed that you said he was talking about the support for Harris muriel_volestrangler Jul 2025 #24

Yep - three hours with former Chair JustAnotherGen Jul 2025 #25

Good. The party needs a strong nudge to the left and away from the Politics-as-usual anchor. Ping Tung Jul 2025 #6

And not just that, but also the majority of the Jewish vote. vanessa_ca Jul 2025 #8

Ditto all of that, vanessa_ca! choie Jul 2025 #13

And Hakim Jeffries won his district... SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2025 #17

Mahalo for adding this info to the Cha Jul 2025 #23

I'm sure Mamdani supported Jeffries. Emile Jul 2025 #29

I think he probably would... SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2025 #30
