"House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries tells @JonKarl that he has not endorsed Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate in the New York City mayoral race, but says he is looking forward to "continuing" conversations."
"Well, as I've indicated, I expect to have a conversation with him at some point this week, in advance of early voting which begins next weekend in New York City, And I will certainly have more to say about the mayor's race and about our Democratic nominee prior to early voting beginning."
"What is though that has held you back? I mean usually, this is someone that won a Democratic primary, you know, usually it wouldn't be that much of a question whether or not a Congressman from the city of New York, the Democratic leader would endorse him. What's giving you pause?"
Hakeem Jeffries has not endorsed Zohran Mamdani, the self‑proclaimed Democratic socialist who won the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor. Jeffries said he is looking forward to continuing conversations and expects to speak with Mamdani this week ahead of early voting. He said he will have more to say about the mayoral race and the Democratic nominee prior to early voting beginning. Jonathan Karl pressed Jeffries on what holds him back; Jeffries cited ongoing conversations and did not directly answer the hesitation. The approaching general election may pass before an endorsement is made.
