He’s taking a left hook.
State Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs’ refusal to back socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral bid is turning the party’s ideological rift into a full-blown crater — as lefties call on the longtime boss to resign and moderates hail his “common sense” take.

What’s keeping him from refusing to use NYDim funds for the muzzie’s campaign?
