Jeffries to Endorse in NYC Mayor's Race Before Early Voting

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is set to make an endorsement in the New York City mayor's race before early voting commences next weekend. The prominent Democrat has yet to publicly back frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, an Assemblyman from Queens.

Jeffries, who has been critical of Republicans for not tackling the 'Republican health care crisis' during the government shutdown, is expected to discuss his endorsement next week. His endorsement could significantly impact the race, as Jeffries is a high-profile figure within the Democratic Party.

In recent conversations with Mamdani, Jeffries has focused on the issue of affordability in New York City, a key concern for many voters. However, Jeffries has not yet endorsed Mamdani, indicating that he may be considering other candidates as well.

With early voting approaching, Hakeem Jeffries' endorsement is highly anticipated. His support could provide a significant boost to the chosen candidate's campaign. The focus of his endorsement, however, remains unclear, as he has not yet publicly committed to any particular candidate.
