      AOC (or Mandami) is not the critical approver to primary Jeffries. Her being publicly at war with the minority leader of her party for the next year doesn’t do anything useful, so let her avoid answering. It doesn’t mean she’s a class traitor or has given up on progressivism. Nancy Pelosi “endorsed” progressive Democrats all the time. It didn’t mean she was their friend and it didn’t make centrists any more likely to vote for them in a primary. And this isn’t even an endorsement, it’s just dodging the question.
