He is attempting to navigate a delicate balance between preventing a progressive takeover and avoiding open conflict with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The two figures have endorsed opposing candidates in key races, including the NY-10 primary where Mamdani supports Brad Lander against Jeffries-backed Rep. Dan Goldman, and the NY-13 primary where Mamdani backs Darializa Avila Chevalier against Jeffries-supported Rep. Adriano Espaillat. AI
