If Democrats win only a narrow majority in the heavily gerrymandered chamber in November, it will give each vote outsize importance and Jeffries critics more opportunities to stir up trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the challengers backed by Mamdani, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez, defeated Democratic incumbents endorsed by Jeffries; only one of the three, Brad Lander, has committed to vote for him as speaker. Those candidates, all of whom are likely to win their heavily Democratic districts in November, and a handful of others who have prevailed against more moderate Democrats in primaries this year, are expected to push for more liberal policies, particularly regarding Israel and Gaza, immigration enforcement, and universal health care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I hope will happen is that Democratic leadership will incorporate the lessons that voters are sending into the agenda that we\u2019re going to be fighting for,\u201d Lander said.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4823\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/6557ac360629e568176d5b07579fd673-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/6557ac360629e568176d5b07579fd673-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/6557ac360629e568176d5b07579fd673-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/6557ac360629e568176d5b07579fd673-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/6557ac360629e568176d5b07579fd673-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/6557ac360629e568176d5b07579fd673-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figcaption>New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, second from right, joins Democratic congressional candidates, from left, Claire Valdez, Brad Lander and Darializa Avila Chevalier at a campaign rally in Brooklyn this month.

James Comer (R-Kentucky). \u201cWhen you\u2019re Hakeem Jeffries and you\u2019re trying to be the next speaker of the House, and you lose three elections in your hometown, that\u2019s a pretty big slap in the face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s cohort of left-wing challengers, many of whom come from organizing backgrounds, is already connected to strategize about their campaigns and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Mai Vang \u2014 who finished ahead of Rep. Doris Matsui (D-California) in a primary this month for a Sacramento-area seat \u2014 said she regularly speaks with other candidates including Valdez, Avila Chevalier and Chris Rabb, who won the Democratic primary for a Philadelphia House seat in May.<\/p>\n<p>Under California\u2019s top-two system, Vang will face Matsui again in a November runoff. If she wins, Vang said she would decide whether to support Jeffries as leader only after a conversation with the other liberal freshman members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese election wins in the primaries are mandates from the people,\u201d she said. \u201cRight now, the Democratic Party has to reckon with whether they are bold enough to represent the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democratic strategist Trip Yang said the disagreement is healthy because it keeps the party more responsive to the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be some discord in the House Democratic caucus. Discord is good,\u201d Yang said. Jeffries \u201cis no stranger to hard, necessary conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the more moderate House Democrats are already bracing themselves. Rep. Gregory W.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, plans to launch investigations into the Trump administration\u2019s alleged abuse of the justice system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI served opposite James Comer, and I serve opposite Jim Jordan, so I can work with anybody,\u201d Raskin said, citing two of the most conservative members of the House. \u201cThere are exciting new generations within the Democratic Party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez called the expectation that the incoming class of left-wing members would pose trouble for Jeffries a \u201cdouble standard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConversation, negotiation, all of that is the business of governance, and it\u2019s the business of Washington,\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s this tendency that when a progressive negotiates, that means that they\u2019re bad, but when a moderate negotiates, that means they\u2019re savvy.
