House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will endorse Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor Friday, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.
The nod is coming after months of pressure and just before early voting begins Saturday.
Jeffries will join Gov. Kathy Hochul and other senior New York Democrats who’ve announced their support for the democratic socialist after keeping him at arm’s length since his surprising Democratic primary victory in June. One of the people who spoke to POLITICO, who’s close to one of the two camps, said the announcement will come Friday afternoon in the form of a statement, rather than an event.
Bloody hell, this is what your comment made me think:
Republicans are rectangles, most democrats are squares. Republicans have been changing the size and shape of their original somewhat square hole to be smaller and thinner so former republicans who don’t fit anymore just use the square hole instead of the rectangle hole. Sure, we’d like to vote for a semi circle, or even a circle. But we can only use the square hole. Because there are still a lot of pieces that use the rectangle hole. And if we use the circle hole, or the semi circle hole, or even the bridge hole, the skinny demented rectangles win. So we all have to use the square hole.
But square and non-skinny rectangles, while they like to win and beat the skinny rectangles, still want everyone to be a square. They will only support circles if there are no squares or rectangles left to support.
In case anyone hasn’t seen it, here is square hole: https://youtu.be/cUbIkNUFs-4
Now we just need the redemption video where we all go into our own separate holes….
