It’s not, they have, and by doing this, Hakeem Jeffries is once again supporting a narcissistic sex pest with a record of corruption (who is the reason NY’s gerrymandering is what it is and why Jeffries is not speaker!!) over the rightful winner of the Democratic Primary.
Hakeem Jeffries says of Cuomo's attacks on Mamdani for living in a rent controlled apartment: "It's a legitimate issue that has been raised, and the [Mamdani] campaign is going to have to address it."

The gerontocracy protects itself!
Lloyd Doggett publicly telling the young CPC chair from Austin to fuck off to a gerrymandered red district including none of Austin in the event the Texas gerrymander goes through, rather than step down when he'd be 80 on Election Day, is just...come on man
Casar, Doggett would run for same Austin congressional seat under GOP map, setting up clash of generations
The contest would unearth brewing Democratic tensions over age and experience, forcing Austin politicos to choose between two well-liked progressives.
