Jeffries downplays clash with Mamdani over New York primaries

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries downplays the tension with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani over the New York congressional primaries, suggesting the party's ideological direction isn't hinged on these few seats. This move is part of his strategy to prevent a democratic socialist shift within the party while steering clear of direct confrontation with Mamdani. The stakes are high, as Jeffries aims to maintain party unity and strategic direction amid internal ideological debates.
