The primary intra-caucus argument, right now, is whether to oppose Trump on ICE terrorizing the country or whether not to. The secondary one, with about the same groupings, is disagreement over Israel. Continued rejection of Mamdani (immigrant, critical of Israel) by leadership is, in part, a proxy battle.
Leadership (Schumer, Jeffries) is one camp, some extreme lefty weirdos like [checks notes] Chris Van Hollen are in another.
A spox for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who was criticized by Chris Van Hollen yesterday for not endorsing Mamdani yet and for making vague and unsatisfiable demands of him, said: “Confused New Yorkers are asking themselves the question: Chris Van Who?”

Our dumbshit pig-people voters have never even heard of another senator!
Josh Barro, resident of New York, the gravitational center of the Hot Takes Industry, has invented a new rule about who is allowed to have Takes. The "don't comment on elections outside of your place of residency" rule is one I will accept, as long as it applies to New Yorkers and shuts down most of the Hot Take business. It will also apply to Jeffries and Schumer, interestingly!
