GOP Reacts After Jeffries Endorses Mamdani
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has launched a powerful new ad blitz targeting Democrats across New York and New Jersey after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries publicly endorsed far-left socialist Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor.
🚨 NRCC: “Every Democrat Owns the Socialist Agenda”
In a scathing press release, NRCC spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole didn’t mince words:
“’Leader’ Hakeem Jeffries just handed the keys to radical socialist Zohran Mamdani. Now, out-of-touch Democrats are chained to their party’s new leader and his extreme socialist agenda. Every single one of them owns the collapse of their own party.”
The ad campaign — featuring the hammer and sickle, iconic symbols of communism — will air across 12 districts in New York and 7 in New Jersey, sending a clear warning that the Democratic Party has fully embraced socialism under Jeffries’ leadership.
🗽 Jeffries Endorses Socialist Candidate After Months of Resistance
Jeffries, a powerful Brooklyn Democrat, had refused for months to endorse Mamdani, who has repeatedly criticized capitalism, attacked law enforcement, and called for open borders.
But on Friday, Jeffries changed course — saying he and Mamdani had “areas of principled disagreement” but that Democrats must unite against President Donald Trump, whom he called an “existential threat.”
In his endorsement, Jeffries claimed Mamdani is “focused on the affordability crisis” and vowed to be “a mayor for all New Yorkers.” He added:
“In that spirit, I support him and the entire citywide Democratic ticket in the general election.”
⚠️ Trump Fires Back: “Mamdani Is a 100% Communist Lunatic”
President Donald Trump blasted the endorsement, calling Mamdani “a 100% communist lunatic” and warning that if Mamdani tries to block cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),
“we’ll have to arrest him.”
Trump’s comments underscore a growing concern among voters — that Democrat leaders like Jeffries are surrendering their party to the radical left, abandoning the working-class Americans who built this country.
🎯 Battleground Targets Across New York and New Jersey
The NRCC’s campaign will spotlight Democrats and challengers seen as vulnerable heading into 2026.
The GOP sees the endorsement as a golden opportunity to expose Democrat extremism and win back blue strongholds.
🇺🇸 Bottom Line: Democrats Embrace Socialism — Voters Deserve Better
The NRCC’s message is crystal clear: Under Hakeem Jeffries, Democrats have abandoned moderation and chosen socialism over sanity.
With crime surging, costs climbing, and American values under attack, voters across the heartland are waking up. Republicans, backed by President Trump’s America First agenda, are ready to take back control and restore law, order, and prosperity.
