Zohran Mamdani's democratic socialist allies may be eyeing primary challenges next year against some congressional Democrats in New York City, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
But a senior political advisor to Jeffries is promising that anyone who tries to oust the top Democrat in the House in next year's primaries will face a "forceful and unrelenting" response.
Mamdani, the 33-year-old Ugandan-born democratic socialist assemblyman from Queens, sent political shock waves across the country with a convincing victory two weeks ago over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and nine other candidates in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary. And Mamdani took a big step toward becoming New York City's first Muslim mayor.
In the wake of Mamdani's primary victory last month, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) highlighted that "this movement is bigger than one person, election, city, or organization."
"We encourage all people inspired by the Zohran campaign to join their local DSA or YDSA chapter and get involved so we can continue to fight alongside Zohran and DSA elected officials across the country to create the future we all deserve," they added in a statement.
Fast-forward to today, and DSA leaders are apparently mulling running primary challengers against Jeffries as well as other House Democrats whose districts are in New York City, including Reps. Ritchie Torres, Jerry Nadler, Dan Goldman and Yvette Clarke.
Jeffries, who two years ago succeeded longtime House Democratic leader and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has been criticized by some of New York City's far-left leaders as a moderate and establishment Democrat.

If this clown gets into office, it will split the democrats.
Holy money.
Hakeem isn’t leftist enough to those people?
Geez Louise......
Unbelievable
Jeffries is a Marxist snake in the grass but he dares not come out that way.
It'll be interesting to see if the Democrats living in Bay Area and the Hamptons support Mamdani. Guys like Bezos won't.
Send Skyhook Hakeem back to shootin’ hoops.
The new lot of democrats are worst than the old lot ,LOL
Muslim 3-Step Program:
* Religious - Immigrate to a country.
* Political - Increase in number.
* Militant - Eliminate those who oppose them.
Every American, Congressman, and Senator should listen to this short discussion by American Historian by WILLIAM FEDERER on Islam.
During the Q & A a student asked why legislators are so weak when it comes to condemning Islamic aggression.
FEDERER responded, “3 Things.”
1. They are ignorant about the history of Islam.
2. They are afraid of Islam aggression.
3. They are on the take.
My thoughts exactly. Hakeem is a pathetic spokesman for the Democrats in the House. It would be a thing of beauty for him to be taken out in a primary.
He better get the Hogg boy to go after Teenybopper Crocquette and The Sandy AOC Cortez and her Beach Blanket Bingo squawd.
Let the sternly-worded letters fly!
I just want to know how they distinguish jefferies from other socialist far-left types?
But make Hakeem seem moderate...?
Yeah the rats with the help of MSM are desperately trying to triangulate away from Mamdani because they know it hurts them outside NYC. It’s BS of course and every one of them would vote for him if they lived there.
Deep state will stop at nothing to get this communist elected. I don’t think they can be stopped.
Nothing from nothing equals nothing.
I bet Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon would be a better representative and more pro-American than this grifter.
You’re right. The Left cannot survive if they show their true colors so they deceive, lie and rely on the ignorance of their sheep.
