Chi Ossé joined the Democratic Socialists of America and filed to challenge House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in next year's Democratic primary. Ossé represents Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights on the City Council. He previously said it would "take a very dire situation in order for me to even consider spending the rest of my 20s in DC." He later signaled his run by posting "It seems like we're in a dire situation." Ossé said party leadership is failing to fight Donald Trump and lacks a believable vision. He appears emboldened by Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's victory, though Mamdani discouraged the challenge.
""take a very dire situation in order for me to even consider spending the rest of my 20s in DC.""
""It seems like we're in a dire situation,""
""The Democratic Party's leadership is not only failing to effectively fight back against Donald Trump, they have also failed to deliver a vision that we can all believe in,""
