    As a bare minimum Zohran needs to rescind any quid pro quo on not challenging Hakeem Jeffries (and all other establishment candidates) seat after Jeffries has essentially given Trump the green light on his illegal war and regime change in Venezuela.

    If you cannot find the spine to stand against something so obviously wrong and illegal, he will undoubtedly find a way to oppose any agenda of affordability Zohran believed he could secure by not challenging the seat

      He’s two days into his term as mayor. He’s going to have much, much higher likelihood of instituting his agenda in his current position. Going to Congress without a robust political network of allies would neutralize him. If he has any quid pro quo to not run against Jeffries, then any benefit he gained is pure positive.
