Rep. Hakeem Jeffries Friday said Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani needs to reach out to a “broader electorate” to help earn his pivotal endorsement in the November general election.

The Democrat House minority leader praised Mamdani for his thumping primary win over ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, saying he “out-organized” his opponents by focusing on the crucial issue of affordability.

But Jeffries, who represents central Brooklyn, said the progressive Queens assemblyman still needs to flesh out some of his proposals.

“He’s going to have to demonstrate to a broader electorate, including in many of the neighborhoods that I represent in Brooklyn, that his ideas can actually be put into reality,” Jeffries said. “That’s the conversation he’s having with me and with community leaders.”
