House Democratic Minority Leader Jeffries offers an endorsement …..
Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader, endorsed Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor on Friday, the latest sign that skeptical party officials are swallowing concerns about their nominee as Election Day nears.
The endorsement by Mr. Jeffries, a Brooklyn Democrat, is more meaningful than most. A national party leader, he is also one of the city’s most prominent Black politicians and has been a sharp critic of the Democratic Socialists of America, which counts Mr. Mamdani as a member.
In a statement to The New York Times, Mr. Jeffries acknowledged that the two men had “areas of principled disagreement.” But he said that Mr. Mamdani had won “a free and fair” Democratic primary and emphasized that the party needed to unite against an “existential” threat from President Trump.

The video, which was taken down a few minutes after it went live on the Cuomo’s X account Wednesday evening, depicted a sloppy AI version of Mamdani, as well as a crew of motley characters — including a pimp, drunk driver, shoplifter and domestic abuser — sardonically cheering on the Democratic nominee.
“When a woman’s being domestically abused she finally won’t have to deal with some pesky cop to arrest the abuser, but now a social worker to help, you know, kumbaya the situation,” one of the slightly-off looking “criminals for Mamdani” says as a woman cowers behind him….
