The Democratic minority leader was asked about opposition to his leadership from new members and said the “issue is not me. I’ll be re-elected as majority leader. The issue is focusing on the American people and what they want.”

      haha, bet you wish you had guns now in NYC! /s

      Given Mamdani’s national stage presence, I think he’s destined for Governor or U.S. Senate. I doubt he’d push for a House seat, but he’ll always be a New York representative in one form or another.

      If she doesn’t go for President, AOC will definitely primary Schumer. In a few more years after that she’ll probably make a run for President. Once she does that, I bet Mamdani goes for her seat.

      Or better yet, ousts Gilibrand from her seat.
