House Dem leader Hakeem Jeffries has awkward pause when asked about not endorsing Zohran Mamdani in NYC mayoral race
""I have not,""
""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 we'll certainly have more to say about the mayor's race and about our Democratic nominee prior to early voting beginning.""
""Globalize the intifada.""
Hakeem Jeffries has not endorsed the New York City mayoral front-runner and paused when asked about an endorsement on live television. He said he expects to speak with the socialist candidate this week and intends to make a statement before early voting begins Oct. 25. Jeffries has met with the candidate at least twice while weighing his decision. Other top Democrats have been cautious about backing the far-left hopeful. Gov. Kathy Hochul endorsed the candidate, who has not reciprocated. Jeffries has expressed reservations about the candidate's past remarks, including the phrase "Globalize the intifada," and resurfaced comments that compared Jeffries to George Wallace.
