"What I indicated is that I truly believe, as many of us do, that Donald Trump represents an existential threat to everything. That in order for us to get from where we are to where we need to go and end the national nightmare, House Democrats are going to have to be successful in taking back control of the House of Representatives,"
"No, I think the future of the Democratic Party is going to fall, as far as we're concerned, relative to the House Democratic Caucus and members who are doing great work all across the country."

Hakeem Jeffries defended and doubled down on saying he does not view Zohran Mamdani as the future of the Democratic Party during a Capitol Hill presser. Jeffries framed Donald Trump as an existential threat and argued that Democrats must prioritize taking back the House to end what he called a national nightmare.
