EXCERPT:
JEFFRIES: “Now, in terms of the races in New York, what’s interesting is that it certainly was the case that in some of those districts, which tended to be, you know, higher-income, you know, districts in many parts of New York City, there was an outsized focus on issues connected to the Middle East and other districts. For instance, in the South Bronx, Ritchie Torres was running against somebody who was heavily critical of Ritchie Torres' position on Israel, and he won by 50 points. And so, listen, I think at the end of the day, you know, individual congressional districts, the beauty of it all, are made up by a diverse group of people who have a diverse set of perspectives on a wide variety of issues. I think for us as House Democrats, we’re just hopeful that everybody recognizes, once we get through this primary season, that the enemy is Donald Trump and MAGA extremism in terms of trying to bring about the type of America that we all desire, where when you work hard and play by the rules, working class folks can live a comfortable life, an affordable life and a good life. That shouldn’t be too much to ask for in the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world."
