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.”
Why is this getting upvoted like it’s up for debate?
Mamdani is not eligible to run for president. That’s just fact.
It’s not the same situation as Cruz.
Because it’s a fact. I never said Mamdani is eligible for president. I just said that being born in the US isn’t the bar for being eligible.
Okay but it’s irrelevant because he wasnt natural born citizen either. It does nothing to further the conversation.
It’s not irrelevant because I was correcting the incorrect information. Having correct information is important. That’s how disinformation spreads.
It’s not disinformation, it’s discussing relevant details and not delineating every arcane requirement every single time we discuss if someone is eligible for president or any other question like that.
Incorrect information is absolutely disinformation. Why are you so salty about this? Look, you made an insinuation about my comment that was incorrect. It happens, move on.
Bro it’s not incorrect to cite only the relevant part of a law. It’s actually good practice and judges will chide you for bringing up irrelevant stuff, no matter how true those facts are.
Okay, but this isn’t a court and the part that was brought up was incorrect.
I mean, he’s every bit as eligible according to the letter of the law and constitution as Trump was to run in '24.
