Chi Ossé, a progressive and outspoken Gen Z councilman from New York City, has officially filed paperwork to challenge Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries in the upcoming primary. Ossé, who has garnered attention as a representative of the left wing of the party, is moving forward with his campaign despite the disapproval of some establishment allies, particularly those linked to Zohran Mamdani. This emerging rivalry signifies a continued clash within the Democratic Party, as Ossé aims to position himself as a youthful alternative to Jeffries, reflecting broader frustrations with the party establishment. Sources indicate that Ossé is determined to leverage his grassroots support and progressive agenda to gain traction in what could be a highly contested primary.
