Hakeem Jeffries Dodges on Mamdani ‘Black or African American’ Claim in MSNBC Interview

EXCERPT:

JEFFRIES: “I think to me, you know, the issue that we have to deal with in New York City, which our Democratic nominee did talk about extensively during the primary campaign, is affordability. And particularly in many of the neighborhoods that are being overwhelmed by gentrification and wiped out by housing displacement. Uh, that whoever’s going to be the next mayor of the City of New York really needs to articulate a concrete plan for making sure that working class communities, including working class neighborhoods of color, can still have a place in our great city. The city that both of us love, but we know is changing significantly in terms of the opportunity for working families and middle-class folks to be able to continue to call at home.”
