both things can be true. local national dems I mention have been abysmal and outright hostile to his campaign. Jeffries is a fucking joke and Gillibrand had an insane meltdown re Israel a month or so ago on a local radio program that got noticed. (shockingly, she apologized)
Gillibrand got yelled down by CA State party over Mamdani. I don't even think both things are true cause it's very clear that there is basically no coordinated effort happening unless you just ignore all the coordinated effort to get Mamdani the nomination. Like there isn't a coordinated conspiracy
