House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries indicated that Democratic-controlled states, including New York, will respond appropriately to the Republican-led Texas Legislature's recent redrawing of congressional districts. Jeffries declined to provide specific details on plans from Democrats in states outside California, such as New York, to counteract the redistricting efforts in Texas but emphasized a commitment to fight back. On the New York City mayoral race, Jeffries stated that Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani must transform his proposals into actionable plans before receiving an endorsement. Jeffries denied withholding endorsement from Mamdani, noting that they had a candid and community-focused discussion prior to Mamdani's trip to Africa. Jeffries also expressed confidence that Republican redistricting efforts will not prevent Democrats from regaining control of Congress. Mamdani’s proposals, which include initiatives like free buses and price-controlled grocery stores, have drawn scrutiny, with Jeffries urging a focus on practical implementation.
