Members received notice of this via an internal email sent on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"876\">The notification read, \u201cGiven that Council Member Oss\u00e9 failed to win support for a recommendation of endorsement from a majority of voting members, the Electoral Working Group OC does not make a recommendation for endorsement at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"1099\">DSA stated that 52 percent of members voted not to endorse Oss\u00e9, while the rest either favored endorsement or abstained. This slim margin illustrates significant membership division and suggests emerging splits within the New York City DSA community.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1101\" data-end=\"1159\">Assemblymember Mamdani Suggested Waiting on Endorsement<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1483\">Prior to the vote, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani reached out to DSA members to advise against endorsing Oss\u00e9. Mamdani\u2019s message encouraged the group to avoid participation in the NY-08 primary and focus instead on affordability initiatives, a key issue from his mayoral campaign.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1485\" data-end=\"1548\">Discussions and Concerns Drove the DSA Vote<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1855\">There was ongoing discussion among DSA members throughout the week, online as well as internally. Several criticized Jeffries, referencing campaign funding from AIPAC and his delayed endorsement of Mamdani before the early voting phase in the mayoral contest.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"2175\">In contrast, some members expressed doubts over Oss\u00e9\u2019s commitment to DSA values, noting he only joined as a dues-paying member last summer, around the time Mamdani\u2019s campaign was underway, raising questions about his long-term DSA involvement.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2177\" data-end=\"2226\">Consequences for the NY-08 Race<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2228\" data-end=\"2530\">With voting done, Oss\u00e9 continues his bid against Jeffries without official DSA support, though the group remains an important player in the city&#8217;s elections. Jeffries holds the usual benefits of incumbency, and Oss\u00e9 misses out on the impact a DSA endorsement might have had.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2741\">The DSA has not made additional statements regarding the decision. Neither Oss\u00e9\u2019s campaign nor Jeffries\u2019 office has offered further comment on the endorsement outcome.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2741\"><a href='https:\/\/nycpolitics.com\/newsletter\/' target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Subscribe to NYCPolitics.com<\/a> for top interviews, news updates, profiles on candidates, resources for voters, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chi Osse Credit: Emil Cohen:NYC Council Media Unit As reported by NYC Newswire, the NYC branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has decided against endorsing Council Member Chi Oss\u00e9, who is contesting House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in New York\u2019s 8th Congressional District Democratic primary.
