Okay, here’s an analysis of the text:

The provided text appears to be a news excerpt likely from Newsmax or a similar outlet. It discusses Chi Osse, a New York City council member, who is withdrawing his bid for House Minority Leader after not receiving an endorsement from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). The article mentions that 52% of DSA members voted against him in their chapter’s Electoral Working Group. Despite this, Osse initially expressed defiance on social media but later confirmed withdrawal. It also notes that other figures like Mayor-elect Mamdani and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez did not support the bid, citing concerns it would distract from their own campaigns or work. Representative Jeffries stated his focus is on specific policy goals for his constituents.

Title: NYC Council Member Withdraws Bid for House Minority Leader Role After DSA Endorsement Rejected

New York City – A New York City council member announced today that he will not be seeking the position of House Majority Whip, a key role responsible for leading the opposition party in the House of Representatives. The withdrawal comes after the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) rejected his candidacy.

Chi Osse stated in a statement that following their refusal to endorse him as the candidate for Minority Leader, he was concluding his exploratory campaign process and would not formally declare his candidacy. “Exploring the possibility of this run was important,” Osse said, but emphasized that without DSA support, it was impossible.

The decision was reached after an online vote within the New York City chapter of the DSA’s Electoral Working Group resulted in a 52% rejection. Despite initial defiant posts expressing his commitment to “NYC DSA FOREVER” and stating he would not back down (“IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE”), Osse confirmed that the exploration had effectively ended.

New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also known as Rep. AOC, and Mayor-elect David Weprta did not offer support, adding to the lack of backing for the bid. Mamdani likely felt that a primary challenge would be an unwelcome distraction from his mayoral campaign preparations or goals.

The incumbent Minority Leader, Democrat H. Rap Brown Jr., known as Representative Albright, assured supporters in a statement released after the decision, “He remains dedicated to lowering New York’s high cost of living and protecting healthcare for residents.” He also pledged to continue working for his constituents’ well-being.

Osse submitted paperwork to run last month. His district is represented by Jeffries Jr., who won re-election easily last year in a predominantly Democratic area that strongly favored the eventual President-elect Harris (though not relevant here).
