I’d argue that Jeffries is the exact opposite of a DINO. He’s literally the minority leader. He is exactly what establishment democrats want. And that is the problem. He’s not a DINO, because he’s literally the face of the party. Democrats are simply too far right. And Mamdani is doing his best to drag the Overton window back to the left, even with the establishment democrats kicking and screaming.
But also, Mamdani wasn’t born in the US, and is therefore unable to run for president. Nor could he be in any seat that is in the chain of succession for the spot of POTUS. So for instance, he couldn’t be VP, the speaker, any of the presidential cabinet members, etc…

I don’t think the rules of succession state he can’t be speaker of the house. If it came to it he would be skipped over for the next in line
