7. You have a point, but Jeffries is a party leader.

I've seen his rhetorical skills. He knows how to speak in a way to indicate that the issue is with the people who oppose both Mamdani as well as more moderate Democrats. He needs to support nominees first and worry about factions second.

in the NYC Mayor's race. And Mamdani is running for mayor just a year after Harris did for President.

Is someone that wants to be Mayor not expected to display leadership ?

to primary someone. How he votes on bills or positions on specific issues should be the criteria.
