During a press briefing on Monday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was asked about Democratic Mayoral Nominee Zohran Mamdani.
Transcript
00:00Thank you, Leader. No doubt New York is going to play a big role in who controls the House next year.
00:08We've had Republicans tell us that the nominee for New York City Mayor is a gift for Republicans in New York State.
00:14Do you think he's a political liability?
00:16Donald Trump is a gift to Democratic prospects in Virginia, New Jersey, and in the midterm elections next year.
00:27Jumping off of that, thank you. Two questions. One, will you be meeting with Mr. Mamdani? He's going to be here in D.C. this week.
00:36So one is, will you be meeting with him when he's here or when will you be meeting with him?
00:40And two, do you agree with Cuomo's essentially thought or request that candidates who are not leading drop out by September?
00:49I'm scheduled to meet with the Democratic nominee at the end of the week back home in Brooklyn.
00:55Haven't had a conversation with Eric Adams or Andrew Cuomo since the primary and have no current plans to do so at this moment.
