The House minority leader told CNN the mayor is going to have to patch things up with congressional Democrats following Tuesday's primary upsets.

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.”

      Provide example. Because there’s no place that has a complete direct democracy with every citizen voting on every piece of legislation like you say.

        You put added words that I didn’t say. Nice try. The specifics you picked out tell me you already know the answer. Good job googling. Clearly you also know your are wrong, so now you are trying to change the statement to fit your interpretation of what I said. Fancy.

          Direct democracy means every citizen votes on every thing. You’re the one that said direct democracy. It’s not my fault you don’t know what the words you’re using actually mean. You should work on that.
