Asked if he voted for Cuomo or Mamdani, Chuck Schumer replies: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help New York City."

Mamdani's Magic www.kenklippenstein.com/p/mamdanis-m...

Asked about Republican attacks on Mamdani, Dem congresswoman Debbie Dingell replies: "I'm going to focus on the election of Abigail Spanberger, who is clearly a moderate, as is Mikie Sherrill. Both women that had strong military and national intelligence background..."

@aoc.bsky.social says of Mamdani victory: "A lot of people...are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody." "We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind."

Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor today: "We all remember the moment when John McCain rebuked his party to preserve [healthcare]"

69-year-old congressman Chuy Garcia has decided to retire — but not before a last-minute maneuver installing his chief of staff as successor. The late Gerry Connolly also backed his own chief of staff, who succeeded him after Connolly died in office earlier this year at age 75.

Spanberger takes a swing at Mamdani: "When she I said to her [Spanberger], you don't have a proposal for government run website or grocery stores on your website, she said, that's because I couldn't pass it...we have to not say we tried it and it didn't work."

Abigail Spanberger takes a swipe at Mamdani, saying "maybe he should be a Democrat" and that his campaign promises are dishonest.

CNN: Hakeem Jeffries was asked this morning if you're the future of the democratic party. He said no. ZOHRAN MAMDANI: Good to know. CNN: Do you have a response? MAMDANI: No. I'm focused on the next two days.

Asked if she would vote for Mamdani, Hillary Clinton replies: "I don't vote in this city; I am not involved in it." (She was a senator from New York.)

Hakeem Jeffries says Zohran Mamdani is not the future of the Democratic Party.

Asked if @AOC should primary Chuck Schumer, Ilhan Omar smiles and says: "I would like Alex to do whatever it is that Alex wants, and I'll be there to support her."

Asked why Chuck Schumer hasn't endorsed Zohran Mamdani, Rep. Ilhan Omar replies: "I really don't know — it makes no sense." "In an election, we support our party's nominee. Schumer has pressured other Democrats to do just that, and he should be following his own advice."

Hakeem Jeffries says he gave Chuck Schumer a heads up about his decision to endorse Mamdani, but refuses to say how Schumer responded. "A private conversation is a private conversation between Leader Schumer and myself."

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: " It's Halloween — Donald Trump should put on a costume and pretend to act like a president."

CNN: Mamdani, are you going to vote for him? CHUCK SCHUMER: We're continuing to talk. CNN: The vote is on Tuesday; what are you gonna do? CHUCK SCHUMER: [walks away]

KAMALA HARRIS: I believe he [Biden] was fully competent to serve. JON STEWART: Do you really? HARRIS: Yeah, I do. STEWART: That surprises me, actually. HARRIS: No, I do. But there's a distinction to be made between running for president and being president.

JON STEWART: The Republicans are selling a product they don't believe in; but Democrats aren't. So how does that square? KAMALA HARRIS: We need to do better. STEWART: Oh - [laughs] - I guess we're done here. HARRIS: But we do. But we do.

 KAMALA HARRIS: "It is never satisfying to say we've gotta be incremental - and I'm not advocating incrementalism - but until we win back majorities in the Senate and the House and take the White House, that may just be where we are."

KAMALA HARRIS: " We have so many have stars in our party ... let's not be afraid of them."

Democrat Rep. Seth Moulton says "we're in this second shutdown of the year because of how ineffective [Chuck] Schumer was at handling the first shutdown, when all of us stood together in the House to block the Republicans from shoving their bill down our throats, and then the Senate just gave in"

Senator Eric Schmitt says Antifa "is a well-coordinated organization with safe houses and money that is laundered internationally."

Asked if the 88-year-old congresswoman suffering from dementia should retire, Hakeem Jeffries replies: "I haven't had a recent conversation with delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton. Obviously she's had a legendary career. Ultimately it's going to be her decision..."

"Charlie's death is like a domestic 9/11," Trump's Treasury Secretary says of Charlie Kirk. "We are going to...follow the money." www.kenklippenstein.com/p/magas-911-...

The Trump administration sees Charlie Kirk's murder as a 9/11 type event. His death inspired a whole new counterterrorism strategy embodied by NSPM-7 www.kenklippenstein.com/p/magas-911-...

Jon Stewart mocks Hakeem Jeffries' "brave, brave endorsement" of Mamdani

FOX NEWS: "Antifa...took their anarchist cookbooks and gas masks up the street to a new safe house but the feds are on their tails. We just arrested a Portland Antifa lieutenant"

"Yes, people can say oh they're socialist ... they said that about Barack Obama too, and he kicked Republicans' asses twice."

Joe Scarborough bends the knee to Mamdani: "There is a lane for populist Democrats to run in and to win."

Asked if she'll run for president again, Kamala Harris says: "Possibly."

Reminder that three members of Congress have died in office this year (all Democrats, all 70+)

every member of congress over age 80 should have to testify under oath whether they've given anyone power of attorney
