House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries expressed admiration for Democratic New York City Mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani's campaign but did not endorse him. Jeffries praised Mamdani for effectively addressing the high cost of living and managing campaign communications, attributing his success to hard work and strong messaging. However, the lack of an established relationship, stemming from non-overlapping electoral districts, prevents Jeffries from endorsing Mamdani at this time. He plans to meet with Mamdani to discuss his vision for the future of the city and address community concerns before making a decision.
I congratulated him on the campaign that he ran, a campaign that clearly was relentlessly focused on the high cost of living in New York City and the economy.
We don't really know each other well. Well, our districts don't overlap. I have never had a substantive conversation with him.
