Chi Ossé, a member of the New York City Council, has filed paperwork to launch a primary challenge against House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries.
The campaign filing, first reported by Axios and filed Monday with the Federal Election Commission, notes Ossé is running as a Democrat in New York's Brooklyn-based 8th District, which Jeffries has represented since 2013.

Ossé did not immediately respond to a request for comment. He he said in a statement to Axios, “The Democratic Party’s leadership is not only failing to effectively fight back against Donald Trump, they have also failed to deliver a vision that we can all believe in."

Ossé also publicly hinted at a run Monday afternoon by writing in a social media post, “Seems like we’re in a dire situation,” responding to another post noting that he had recently said he would not run for Congress and that it would take a "dire situation" for him to spend his 20s in the nation's capital.
Jeffries, meanwhile, welcomed the challenge.

“Leader Jeffries is fighting hard to lower the high cost of living, address the Republican healthcare crisis, combat corruption and win back control of the House for the good of the country," spokesperson Justin Chermol said in a statement. "We welcome this primary challenge and look forward to a rigorous debate about the type of serious leadership required to deliver for the people of Brooklyn and the nation.”
Jeffries, the top House Democrat, has not faced a competitive primary fight in the recent past, and he has run unopposed in primaries in five of his last seven elections, including last year, in the deep-blue district. Jeffries won a seventh term last year by 51 points, and former Vice President Kamala Harris won the district by 44 points, both winning more than 70% of the vote.
Ossé was first elected to the City Council in 2021 at just 23 years old, and he reportedly joined the Democratic Socialists of America this year. Ossé is an ally of New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, although The New York Times reported that Mamdani discouraged Ossé from challenging Jeffries

Not a fan of Jeffries and a was a huge fan of the Combat Jack podcast so I'm hoping the young brother can make a difference.

I also wonder what was the reason behind Mamdani's discouragement to run.

That's wild..I saw a segment on dude recently about how he ran a grassroots campaign from nothing (which I'm not entirely doubting) but no mention that's he's Combat Jacks son which I just discovered now lol

I think that's dope but you really gotta be a nepo child of some sort huh

the point is that he's not a serious person :childplease: progressive politics are trash

how the fukk is this clown gonna knock off the future Speaker of the House :laff:

Again, the topic has zero negative impact in NEW YORK CITY. It's a non issue so why is that the first thing you gravitate to? You're obsessed with trannies dude. It's weird.

After Mamdani I don't think it's outrageous to suggest Jeffries could be vulnerable to the right candidate and campaign. Same with the other Israel dikk sucker being challenged, Ritchie Torres.

Jefferies is an empty suit and I have zero idea why he was selected as the heir to Pelosi.

On the strength of Mamdani's win, I guess Chi figures this is a good time to test the waters.
So many moving parts in NYC politics, that there could be several reasons why the new mayor doesnt agree.
