Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., is facing mounting backlash from some Black leaders over her decision to seek re-election in a majority-minority district, a move that appears to be costing her support from the highest-ranking Black Democrat in Congress.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., declined to endorse Wasserman Schultz's re-election bid Tuesday after she entered the race for the plurality-Black district, where she faces four Black opponents in the Aug. 18 primary.
"Haven't made a decision, as it relates to that particular race," the lead Democrat said at a news conference when asked if he supports Wasserman Schultz’s run for the Fort Lauderdale-based seat.
Jeffries said he’s spoken to Wasserman Schultz, a member of his leadership team, about the race, but stopped short of offering his support.
"Everybody has a right to run where they see fit. They’ve got to make their case to the people that they hope to represent moving forward," he said.
"I think we all recognize the sensitivities of the moment in terms of an unprecedented Jim Crow-like assault on Black political representation that has been unleashed by the Supreme Court's outrageous decision to gut the Voting Rights Act," he added, invoking the court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which curbed the use of race in the drawing of electoral districts and spurred redistricting in several Republican-led states affecting majority-minority districts represented by Black Democrats.
"And it's an environment that all of us need to be sensitive to as we move forward," he said.
Jeffries' comments come as Wasserman Schultz seeks to weather fierce criticism from some local Black leaders over her decision to run in the district. The seat has been represented by a Black lawmaker for more than three decades.

They don’t want her kind around down there.
The tribes have spoken! We don’t have parties anymore. Just tribes.
There are Jewish seats and there are black seats.
She’s got the hair!!
Who is on Wasserman’s IT support team?
“where she faces four Black opponents in the Aug. 18 primary.”
This is EXACTLY how fat-mouth Tlaib (Detroit) got in over a bunch of black guys, the voters went for ‘black’ and spread the votes around so much so the muzzie white tramp got in. Of course it’s only the primary that counts as there is no GOP to speak of in the general. Brillo Pad Head’s district should be interesting and hopefully it is dissolved so to speak.
Hakeem has spoken: Little Debbie is not allowed to be like the four little children who gets not to be judged by the color of her skin.
Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz is not playing along with the rules of the Dem’s racial spoils system. This could get really ugly.
Now, now. The Dems have their principles; very flexible ones no doubt, but principles nonetheless. Let’s see how they apply them to this situation.
The GOP needs to run a Black COnservative in this district
There are currently three black candidates vying for that position that risk splitting the black vote and allowing the blabbermouth to slide in. They are apparently considering getting together to advance a single black candidate. Good luck with that considering the egos involved.

Black uber alles
Debbie is Jewish; of course the Dems are turning against her. Just before reading this thread, I read the one where Alan Dershowitz announced he is leaving the Democratic Party.
From memory...
The last two Congress women were Black females who decided to increase their annual income by distributing federal funds to friends and family.
I’d prefer she wins. Angry blacks vs. the idiot.
Mostly from New York state - so, very Hard Left.
Even better!
So they are racist!
Blacklash.
