House Speaker Mike Johnson is slamming House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, claiming his endorsed Democrats are losing primaries to more radical, socialist-backed candidates—like those aligned with the DSA and Mayor Zohran Mamdani in New York’s Bronx and Brooklyn. Johnson frames this as a deepening Democratic Party split, warning that these progressive wins signal a dangerous drift toward Marxism, with policies like abolishing borders and prisons. He warns of growing influence for these figures in Congress. Jeffries’ team counters by pointing to his recent “Meet the Press” interview, showing the leadership is aware—but not necessarily alarmed—by the shifting tide within their own party.
