NY-17 Dems can’t pick a side in the Democrat civil war

October 17, 2025

Democrats are in open revolt and NY-17 Democrats can’t decide whether they stand with so-called “leader” Hakeem Jeffries or the far-left radical socialists now calling the shots.

As Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders publicly shame Jeffries for not endorsing their radical ally Zohran Mamdani, the question for every Democrat running in 2026 is simple:

Would Peter Chatzky, Mike Sacks, John Sullivan, Jessica Reinmann, Beth Davidson, Cait Conley, Effie Phillips-Staley, and John Cappello support Hakeem Jeffries as their leader in Congress? 

“The radical left is now leading the Democrat Party, and so-called ‘Leader’ Hakeem Jeffries is a hostage. Peter Chatzky, Mike Sacks, John Sullivan, Jessica Reinmann, Beth Davidson, Cait Conley, Effie Phillips-Staley, and John Cappello must make it clear: Do they side with the DC establishment or the far left?” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
