Hakeem Jeffries Shrugs Off Chi Ossé Primary Drama Like A Brooklyn Boss
On a mildly dramatic Friday in D.C., House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of Brooklyn showed all the seriousness of a cat ignoring a cucumber, dismissing NYC Council member Chi OssĂ©'s rumored primary challenge with the magic phrase: 'Not a serious question.' OssĂ©, a Zohran Mamdani ally who 'wouldn't spend the rest of his 20s in DC' unless apocalypse hits, is trailing Jeffries 72% to a mysterious 21%âmostly because half the voters haven't even heard of him. Meanwhile, Jeffries just endorsed this very Mamdani after a months-long âdelicateâ political slow dance, insisting the Democratic Party's unity is as tight as a New Yorkerâs subway grip mid-rush hour.

Jeffries calls OssĂ©âs primary talk ânot seriousâ and endorsements after late-night party deliberations seem like democracy with extra jazz hands and zero chill.
Brooklynâs own Jeffries just dropped the ultimate ânot today, Sisâ on OssĂ©âs primary dreams, proving politics can be about as subtle as a subway car broadcast at rush hour.
If voter awareness were a Brooklyn cheese pie, OssĂ©âs slice is missing, trailing behind Jeffriesâ meaty 72% says, âWho?â Itâs less a race, more a polite nod from the sidelines.
