[@mateomelendez3733]

I do agree that Mr. Jeffries definitely has Presidential character and qualities! I wish him the very best for a BRIGHT future which lies ahead of him!

[@ErikaRodriguez-x7u]

I like Hakim Jeffries a lot and I think that he can be a great president for the United States and he should run for the presidency after President Biden is done with his other 4 years.
Then Hakim Jeffries can 2029

Democrats work as a team, am a nurse one of my patient fell my colleague from other hall came and took care of everything that is how we work. Please yes Biden is older that should not be the focus

The Democratic party in New York City need to get it together. I'm going to miss Mr Jeffries townhall meetings.

[@leo-roundtheearth]

I am a barrister. In my view, Hakeem Jeffries is just an average orator。 If he turns out to be the best from the Democrats, then it is a sad scenario for the latter.

[@marilyn48ful]

I like him he should run for president.

[@themadmancox5180]

I personally command and congratulate and will effortlessly celebrate mr. Jeffries, if this individual is at least who he say he is and does at least what he says he will do he will get my support.
I have been keeping a very close eye on mr. Jeffries and I do apologize to mr. Jeffries and anyone else that supports him or believes in him but:
1. What makes him any different than anyone else is ever lied, and done nothing but collect the check before.
2. And so on and so on
3. And so on and so on
Coming from where I come from in the time that I come from I do nothing but want to celebrate a black leader, my question is this is mr. Jeffries what he says he is or just anything other than just so happened to being?

[@brigspearman2171]

This is not about kids. I know this is a bow in protecting people athlete special Olympian athlete. Dad was Mad have a decision on the shutters secured. This is not about that.

[@theresabell2492]

It's true the Democratic party here is a mess I'm sick if them.

[@perrybelcourt5441]
