Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) launched an unhinged attack on NY Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani using footage of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center.
the current DNC chair legitimately wants someone like Mamdani for the next presidential candidate.
Delusional. Ken Martin wants nothing to do with Mamdani. Neither do the party’s highest ranking Senator and House Reps (ffs, Jeffries is IN NYC and won’t endorse the obvious front-runner). Hochul has him at a distance, while eyeing his allies in the DSA stacked state legislature nervously for fear of a primary challenge.
And the irony of all this NYC leftism popping off now is that Cuomo made it possible when he gerrymandered his own party out of a majority.
Hochul has been at campaign events with Mamdani within just the past several days, it doesn’t really look like she is distancing herself from him when you can find them literally on a stage together. I do agree about Jeffries, I think he is trying to be strategic because of his role in the House, but he sucks too much to pull it off so instead he just looks like an ass. If he was a better politician he could have threaded the needle. In some ways his non-endorsement may have ultimately benefited Mamdani, Democratic leadership is very unpopular right now and having obvious disagreement within the party over Mamdani validates his outsider image.
