Democratic Leader Dodges Question About Whether Zohran Mamdani Is ‘The Future Of The Party’
HuffPost
Brushing off Mamdani, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries accused Trump and the GOP of having gone "way too far."
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) sidestepped a question about whether he views New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani (D) as his party’s “future.”
“You’ve already cast your ballot for mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Do you see Mamdani as the future of the Democratic Party?” CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Jeffries on “State of the Union” Sunday.
“No, I think the future of the Democratic Party is going to fall, as far as we’re concerned, relative to the House Democratic Caucus and members who are doing great work all across the country,” Jeffries responded.
Noting that the American people “deserve better,” Jeffries then switched to torching President Donald Trump and the GOP.
“Donald Trump and republicans have gone way too far, and have failed to deliver anything meaningful for the American people,” he said, before accusing the president of orchestrating the “largest pay-to-play scheme in the history of the country.”
