Saturday

(shit) on Mamdani.

Jeffries is planning on meeting with Mamdani in the coming weeks. Remember, Mamdani is new to the political scene and Jeffries doesn't know him well, if at all.

There is no benefit in Jeffries endorsing Mamdani in August when the election isn't until November. An endorsement would make more sense in October.

Jeffries is in charge of winning and keeping House seats, not Mayoral races, and people need to stop asking him about Mamdani in every single interview.
