What’s the holdup, Hakeem

What's the holdup, Hakeem?

September 22, 2025

Over the weekend, it was reported that House Minority "Leader" Hakeem Jeffries is in talks with socialist Zohran Mamdani to endorse him for NYC mayor.

Yet over the past few days, more and more headlines show exactly what Jeffries would be endorsing: $100 million to illegal immigrants, including criminals, to evade U.S. immigration laws. And a push to cut 1,300 officers from a "racist" NYPD.

This begs the question: What's the holdup, Hakeem?

"The socialist base is patiently waiting for 'Leader' Hakeem Jeffries' endorsement of free handouts for criminal illegal immigrants, demonizing law enforcement, and every radical far-left fantasy in the book. When Jeffries finally bends the knee to Mamdani, he'll prove once and for all that Democrats care more about criminals and socialists than the safety of American families." - NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
