Ask a Pol asks:
Members of ‘The Squad’ are getting primaried this election cycle, what do you make of those challenges? I know last year you met with [Rep.] AOC and [Rep. Jamaal] Bowman, kinda had a come-to-Jesus moment in New York with the progressives. What role do they play in the party, and are you worried about those races?
Key Jeffries:
“I have made several endorsements of a variety of different members of the House Democratic Caucus to date, and will continue to do so in the weeks and months to come,” Jeffries replied.
