He wasn’t asked to make who would be the best choice for speaker of the house.
He was asked if he wants Jeffries—who is the current Dem leader in the House and who would get the job of Dems get a majority—to get the job.
He’s just saying he wants Dems to get control of the house. The only alternative is for Republicans to maintain control. There is no way for Progressives to control the House anytime soon.
He also advocates against people to run against Hakeem Jeffries. Mamdani is advocating for Jeffries, who just condemned socialism with Republicans, to gain a top position.
If Hakeem Jeffries controls the house, Republicans still control it. Nothing will change.
This is purposely obtuse.

Yup, it all comes down to how the question was actually worded. The question was phrased with an agenda.
The article was certainly posted with one.
