House Democratic leaders will give remarks Wednesday morning in the wake of the New York primaries, when three hopefuls backed by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) were defeated by more progressive candidates. The victors were backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), a democratic socialist, and have shown a growing rift between the party's establishment and those further left. The press conference also comes after the Senate passed a war powers resolution to curb President Trump’s military operation in Iran, more than two weeks after the House advanced its own measure. #house #democrats #election #midterms
