    How to disable Gemini AI on Android and keep control of your apps
    Google is making a push to ensure its AI, Gemini, is tightly integrated with Android systems by granting it access to core apps like WhatsApp, Messages, and Phone. The rollout of this change started on July 7, 2025, and it may override older privacy configurations unless you know how to disable Gemini on Android. Here's what you need to know.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide - free when you join myCYBERGUY.COM/NEWSLETTER.Currently, the official email and support pages aren't providing consistent information on Gemini's true behavior regarding this change and how to disable it. However, we do know that Gemini will be able to interact with other apps. For instance, it would be able to make calls through the Phone app or send messages through WhatsApp.Gemini will still be able to interact with your Android apps even if you turned off Gemini Apps Activity in the Gemini Apps setting. This setting allows Google to save your interactions with Gemini apps. These are used to train the AI by allowing "human reviewers (including service providers)" to "read, annotate, and process your Gemini Apps conversations," according to the Google support page.Settings location may vary. Not all users will see the same options in the Gemini app or Google app, as settings can differ based on device model, region, or update status. If you don't see a particular setting, it may be due to these factors.Google made it vague in the email by saying you can block Gemini from interacting with other apps in the Apps settings. That means if you have Gemini installed on your phone as a separate app, you need to do the following:Alternatively, you can justuninstall the Gemini app from your Android phone.If your device doesn't have Gemini installed already, the recent changeswon't secretly install it. You're likely safe for now. However, you need to stay vigilant in case future updates try to sneak in Gemini functionality without your knowledge.Gemini can also interact with other apps through the Google app on Android. So it makes sense to disable Gemini on Android in that app as well. Heres how to do that:Even after you disable Gemini on Android, there are a few key things to understand about how your data is handled and what settings might still require your attention:If you have already disabled Gemini features, they should remain off: Google states that if you previously turned off Gemini's access to apps, those privacy settings will persist after the update. However, it's wise to double-check your settings to ensure nothing has changed.No forced installation:The Gemini app will not be installed automatically if it isn't already present on your device. You remain in control of whether or not to add it.Data review by humans:Conversations with Gemini may be reviewed and annotated by human reviewers for quality control and AI training purposes. Even if your activity is deleted, data reviewed by humans can be retained for up to three years, and this data is disconnected from your Google Account before review. Avoid sharing confidential or sensitive information in Gemini chats, as Google explicitly advises against it.While some users may welcome this change, if you value control and transparency over your data, limiting its access is the best option. Unfortunately, Google's guidance on the subject is murky, and you cant fully disable Gemini on Android unless you root your Android phone. But by proactively reviewing and tweaking a few settings, you can regain some control.As AI systems become more powerful, do you trust companies to put your privacy before their profits?

    Chip Gaines responds to backlash after Magnolia Network reality show features same-sex family
    Former HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines are facing backlash for their new reality show which features a same-sex couple."Back to the Frontier," a show about three American families who attempt to survive as 1880s homesteaders, debuted on HBO Max on July 10. The Gaines are executive producers of the Magnolia Network series, the cable network they co-founded with Warner Bros. Discovery, which was promoted as featuring "family-friendly unscripted programming."After clips of the show were shared on social media, the Gaines' were criticized by conservative Christian pastors, organizations and media commentators over the show casting two Texas dads and their 10-year-old twin sons, who were born via a surrogate.Critics claimed the Gaines were promoting an anti-biblical lifestyle while they'd built a media empire professing their Christian faith.CHIP AND JOANNA GAINES SAY THEIR 'AWKWARD' NEW HOBBY HAS REIGNITED THEIR 22-YEAR MARRIAGEReverend Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, called the casting decision "very disappointing.""While we are to love people, we should love them enough to tell them the truth of Gods Word," he wrote on social media. "His Word is absolute truth. God loves us, and His design for marriage is between one man and one woman. Promoting something that God defines as sin is in itself sin."Ed Vitagliano, vice president of the American Family Association, said the move was "sad and disappointing" from the couple who've been "very influential in the evangelical community.""Moreover, in the past, they have stood firm on the sanctity of marriage regardless of the personal cost that has entailed. We arent sure why the Gaines have reversed course, but we are sure of this: Back to the Frontier promotes an unbiblical view of human sexuality, marriage, and family a view no Christian should embrace," he added in a statement posted to X.SOCIAL MEDIA POUNCES ON RICK WARREN TWEET ABOUT JESUS: YOULL FIND HIM IN THE MIDDLE'Chip Gaines' July 10 social media post promoting the show was also flooded with thousands of negative comments.He responded to the backlash on Sunday."Talk, ask qustns [sic], listen.. maybe even learn," he told critics. "Too much to ask of modern American Christian culture. Judge 1st [sic], understand later/never.""Its a sad sunday [sic] when non believers have never been confronted with hate or vitriol until they are introduced to a modern American Christian," he added with a "heartbreak" emoji.Gaines also responded to Joel Berry, managing editor of Christian satirical news website The Babylon Bee, who asked Gaines to "filter out some of the online vitriol and consider taking to heart some of the substantive concerns and heartbreak from the Christians who make up your fanbase.""Dont be sad Joel.. plenty of other stuff out there," Gaines replied. "Im sure everyone will be fine. BUT I sincerely appreciate the advice about taking some of the thoughtful, heartfelt, encouraging constructive criticism to heart.. and I certainly will."Magnolia Network representatives did not return Fox News Digital's request for comment.

    'Held accountable': Sen. Rand Paul again vows to issue a criminal referral for Fauci
    Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Monday announced that he would revive his criminal referral against Dr. Anthony Fauci, adding yet another wrinkle to the ongoing Biden White House autopen saga."Today I will reissue my criminal referral of Anthony Fauci to Trump DOJ," Paul said on X.Its not the first time that Paul has issued a criminal referral against Fauci, who is the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and medical adviser to former President Joe Biden.BIDEN CHIEF OF STAFF REPORTEDLY GAVE APPROVAL FOR AUTOPEN PARDONS ON FINAL DAY IN OFFICEThe first came in 2021, when Paul accused Fauci of lying to Congress about funding gain-of-function research for the COVID-19 virus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The next came in 2023, again as part of Pauls efforts to investigate the origins of the virus."Perjury is a crime," Paul said. "And Fauci must be held accountable."Fox News Digital reached out to Pauls office for comment.'PRESIDENTIAL INCAPACITY': SENATE REPUBLICAN SEEKS PAPER TRAIL OF BIDEN'S AUTOPEN USEThis time, Pauls reupping of his criminal referral comes after a new report added another chapter to the ongoing autopen saga, in which President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have accused Biden of shrugging off his authority to aides and top officials in the White House to authorize his signature on a slew of pardons and documents.The New York Times reported that emails showed that Bidens Chief of Staff Jeff Zients gave final approval for the use of the autopen for preemptive pardons for Fauci and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, two of Trumps top critics. SENATE HEARING ON WHO WAS 'REALLY RUNNING' BIDEN WHITE HOUSE KICKS OFF WEDNESDAYBiden signed the bulk of his over 4,000 clemency documents in the waning months of his presidency, a point that Trump and congressional Republicans have pounced to hammer in the claims that the former presidents cognitive ability was declining and his staff were running the White House.Trump has gone so far as to request Attorney General Pam Bondi open an investigation into Bidens usage of the autopen, while Republicans in the Senate and House have all held their own committee hearings on the matter.And earlier Monday, Trump told reporters that Biden's alleged use of the autopen amounted to possibly "one of the biggest scandals that we've had in 50 to 100 years.""I guarantee you he knew nothing about what he was signing, I guarantee you," Trump said.Diana Stancy contributed to this report.

    Democrat AGs sue Trump for 'unconscionable' freeze on $6.8B in K-12 spending
    More than 20 Democratic attorneys general on Monday announced they are suing the Trump administration over its abrupt decision to withhold roughly $6.8 billion in spending for K-12 programs, describing the freeze as both unconstitutional and "debilitating" to states just weeks ahead of a new school year.The lawsuit, announced by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, comes just weeks after the Department of Education announced on June 30 that it would be pausing distribution of the federally approved grant money, which had been approved by Congress and was slated to be distributed just one day later, on July 1."The Department remains committed to ensuring taxpayer resources are spent in accordance with the Presidents priorities and the Departments statutory responsibilities," the department said in a statement then, directing any questions to the Office of Management and Budget.JUDGE XINIS GRILLS TRUMP LAWYERS OVER PLANS TO DEPORT ABREGO GARCIA IN HIGH-PROFILE HEARINGThe department did not immediately give a reason for the pause.Speaking to reporters on a call on Monday, Democratic attorneys general from California, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Colorado highlighted the myriad ways in which the education freeze has injected chaos and uncertainty into public schools nationwide keeping on ice important budget decisions for public school educators, at a time when they should be focused on hiring staff and getting ready for the year ahead.Bonta argued the freeze has already been a "devastating blow" to state learning programs, including some migrant education centers and tutoring and adult literacy programs."It's unconscionable, unlawful, and can't go unchecked, and it won't," he said.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ASKS SUPREME COURT TO REVIEW EL SALVADOR DEPORTATION FLIGHT CASEThey noted that some statewide education programs have already been forced to close their doors completely due to the loss of funds, and education officials have cited the uncertainty facing public schools in the longer term."Thoughtful, strategic budgets, staffing plans, and contracts for the upcoming school year hang in the balance," as public schools race to adjust their budgets, Bonta said.The group argued it is the latest in a string of unconstitutional efforts by the Trump administration to withhold federal funds approved by Congress, and, in their view, outside the reach of the administration.The federal funding includes some $2 billion in grants to fund teachers' continued development and education programs; millions of dollars in tutoring programs; $1 billion for academic enrichment grants for STEM and accelerated learning programs; and hundreds of millions of dollars to fund adult literacy programs nationwide.Other programs, such as the 21st Century Community Learning Center, funnel money to states to fund roughly 10,000 after-school programs and summer school programs for students nationwide.State leaders argued Monday that the freeze ordered by the Education Department is illegal, risking near- and long-term harm to students and educators."President Trump and Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon have dealt a debilitating blow to our schools, throwing them into chaos just weeks ahead of the first day of school," Bonta said.More broadly, the attorneys general also argue that Trump's spending freeze violates the Constitution and the Impoundment Control Act, since it froze the K-12 funding without reason, and without the prior notice or earlier steps required under the ICA.FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP'S BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP BAN FOR ALL INFANTS, TESTING LOWER COURT POWERSThis lawsuit comes as Democratic-led states have filed a flurry of others aimed at blunting Trump's executive orders and actions in the first six months of his second term.To date, the Democratic attorneys general have filed 31 lawsuits against the Trump administration in the 25 weeks since he took office, as Bonta said on Monday. Eight lawsuits have been focused on cuts to education programs.On Monday, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronhalikened the abrupt freeze on public education funding to a popular children's cartoon."It is impossible for states to effectively budget for an upcoming school year through their Departments of Education and through our Departments of Education to our local communities, when the president takes the football away from us like Lucy in a Charlie Brown cartoon," Neronha said."So when this happens, as it's happened before, we're going to bring actions, and frankly, we're going to win."

    "Supernanny" star Jo Frost pleaded for community support after detailing her plight with anaphylaxis.Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction which can occur within seconds to minutes of exposure to an allergen, according to the Mayo Clinic.

    'In it to win it': Cuomo refuses to back down in heated NYC mayoral race against Zohran Mamdani
    Andrew Cuomo says he's going the distance.The former three-term New York governor, who last month was defeated by double digits by democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, on Monday announced he will continue his general election bid as an independent candidate."Only 13% of New Yorkers voted in the June primary. The general election is in November and I am in it to win it," Cuomo declared in a video posted to social media.And Cuomo charged that "My opponent, Mr. Mamdani offers slick slogans but no real solutions."CUOMO, ADAMS TRADE SHOTS OVER WHO SHOULD DROP OUT IN RACE AGAINST MAMDANI FOR NYC MAYORMamdani's primary victory over Cuomo and nine other candidates three weeks ago rocked the Democratic Party, and boosted the Ugandan-born 33-year-old state assemblyman from Queens toward becoming the first Muslim mayor of the nation's most populous city.MAMDANI OFFICIALLY WINS NYC DEM PRIMARY BY 12 POINTS OVER CUOMO, WHO'S STAYING IN THE RACE FOR NOWMamdani surged to a primary victory thanks to an energetic campaign that put a major focus on affordability and New York City's high cost of living.Mamdani made smart use of social media platforms, including TikTok, as he engaged low-propensity voters. He proposed eliminating fares to ride New York City's vast bus system, making CUNY (City University of New York) "tuition-free," freezing rents on municipal housing, offering "free childcare" for children up to age 5, and setting up government-run grocery stores.And thanks in part to the efforts of a massive grassroots army of volunteers, he rode a wave of support from younger and progressive voters to catapult into first place over Cuomo, who was the frontrunner."Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that the Democratic primary did not go the way I had hoped," said Cuomo, the former three-term governor who resigned from office in 2021 amid multiple scandals.Cuomo, who is gunning for a political comeback, noted that "as my grandfather used to say, when you get knocked down, learn the lesson and pick yourself back up and get in the game. And that is what I'm going to do. The fight to save our city isn't over."At an endorsement event on Monday, Mamdani reacted to Cuomo's move."I welcome everyone to this race, and I am as confident as I have been since three weeks ago on primary night," he said."I think he's struggling to come to terms with what Tuesday meant," Mamdani added. "We spent an entire campaign being told that it was inevitable for Andrew Cuomo to become the next mayor, and he believed that himself."Mamdani also trolled the former governor on Monday, responding to a photo of Cuomo filming his campaign video."We got him making man on the street videos with a guy in Carhartt. By next week, he'll be sipping adeni chai and eating khaliat al nahl," Mamdani said in reference to his own viral campaign videos.The announcement by Cuomo came as no major surprise.While he acknowledged Mamdani's victory in the primary, Cuomo left the door open to a November run as an independent candidate, which election rules in New York state permit.And late last month, Cuomo let pass a deadline for candidates who had already qualified to run as independents to decline that independent ballot line.But sources told Fox News at the time that Cuomo had not committed yet to running an active general election campaign through the summer and into the autumn.In deep blue New York City, the Democratic primary winner is largely favored to win the general election. If Mamdani wins in November, he will be the first Muslim and millennial mayor of New York City.Also on the general election ballot is Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, who dropped his primary bid earlier this year amid sinking poll numbers in the wake of numerous controversies.Adams is running as an independent.Also on the ballot in the general election are Jim Walden, a former federal prosecutor running as an independent, and Guardian Angels co-founder Curtis Sliwa, who, for a second straight election, is the Republican mayoral nominee.

    GOP lawmaker calls SJSU's latest chapter in trans athlete controversy 'highly disturbing'
    EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., reacted on Monday following a Fox News Digital report that theMountain West Conferencehired the same law firm to investigate the transgender athlete Brooke Flemings misconduct allegations that the conference was using to defend the athlete's eligibility for the conference tournament in court.Kiley had been outspoken against transgender athletes competing against girls and women in sports and was at odds with California Gov. Gavin Newsom as the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the state over alleged Title IX violations.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"The absurdity and unfairness of forcing young women and girls to compete against males also poses obvious safety risks," Kiley said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The revelations from Fox News Digital are highly disturbing, but sadly unsurprising: the same institutions that willingly subject student-athletes to the risk of physical harm are failing to adequately respond when those harms materialize."Fortunately, the tide has decisively turned against the backwards politicians and organizations who have defied common sense and biologicalreality in their attempt to undermine hard-won civil rights protections for female athletes."Former San Jose State womens volleyball player Brooke Slusser was the apparent target of an alleged plan by Fleming and a Colorado State player to have Slusser spiked in the face during an Oct. 3 game. Slusser was never spiked in the face during that game. Fleming had 10 errors as SJSU lost to Colorado State in straight sets.Fox News Digital previously reported that Mountain West hired the firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher (WFG) to investigate the allegations.The Mountain West hired the firm to handle the investigation in the same month that the same firm represented the conference to protect Fleming's eligibility in a request for preliminary injunction to have the trans athlete disqualified from women's competition and the conference tournament.The investigation was closed after three days, with Fleming being cleared of impropriety. But no evidence was ever disclosed by the conference, as Fleming went on to finish out the season, earn all-conference honors and even led SJSU all the way to the Mountain West championship game.LAW FIRM THAT WORKED TO KEEP SJSU TRANS PLAYER ELIGIBLE ALSO CLEARED ATHLETE OF CONSPIRING TO HARM TEAMMATEThe WFG attorney who led the investigation into allegations against Fleming, Tim Heaphy, later offered the school legal counsel to help it navigate a federal Title IX investigation over the same situation, as seen in public records obtained by Fox News Digital. The offer was declined.None of WFG's attorneys have been accused of violating any applicable rules of professional conduct.Fox News Digital reached out to the firm Wilkie Farr & Gallagher, the Mountain West Conference and the California State University system for a response on Kileys statement.Slusser spoke late last month about the recent findings in an appearance on Fox News Channels"America Reports.""Its obvious once this was put out into the public that theres so much bias in this situation, and theyre trying to just sweep these things under the rug and not have to deal with it when theres obvious problems going on all over the place," she said."They need to be held accountable for using the same law firm and not doing a thorough investigation because Title IX was built to protect women, and theyre obviously deciding to protect the man in this situation when they were blatantly trying to harm a female athlete at their school, and theyre still backing this male athlete and thats just wrong all over the place. And theres schools all over the nation doing this, theyre just not getting the spotlight it deserves."Slusser ultimately hopes that no other female athletes have to deal with the same things she experienced."The goal is to never have to let another female athlete go through what I did. The sport was ruined for me my senior season," she said. "So, the goal is to give back to those young girls who had the same dream that I did but to be able to love it the entire time."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Iran vows retaliation if UN Security Council issues snapback sanctions on anniversary of nuclear deal
    Iran on Monday warned that it would retaliate if the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) took steps to impose "snapback" sanctions as nations mull further action to halt Tehrans nuclear development."The threat to use the snapback mechanism lacks legal and political basis and will be met with an appropriate and proportionate response from the Islamic Republic ofIran," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei claimed during a press conference, according to a Reuters report.Baghaei did not expand on how Iran would retaliate, but his threats come amid repeated warnings from security experts that time is running out to enforce the sanction mechanism by Oct. 18 under terms dictated by the 2015 nuclear deal.IRAN CLAIMS ITS PRESIDENT WAS INJURED IN ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE LAST MONTHThe comments coincided with the 10-year anniversary of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was originally intended to halt Irans nuclear ambitions, but which some have argued was insufficient to adequately deter Tehran.Under the terms of the JCPOA, any signatory can unilaterally call up snapback sanctions if Iran is found to have violated the terms of the agreement.Though the U.S., which, alongside the U.K., France, Germany, China and Russia, signed the 2015 deal, was deemed by the U.N. and other JCPOA members unable to utilize the mechanism after Washington withdrew from the agreement in 2018 during President Donald Trumps first term.Despite repeated calls by the U.S. to enforce snapback which would legally enforce all 15 U.N. members on the council, including Russia, to reimpose sanctions on Iran no one on the UNSC or JCPOA has yet taken steps to enforce the sanctions."I would say one of the few good things about the JCPOA is that it reverse engineers the veto in the sense that you really only need one of the permanent members to be able to do this," Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies Iran orogram told Fox News Digital."But why is no one doing it? It's because it's a risky move."I think it's a worthwhile move, but we have to be honest it's a risky move," he added.Ben Taleblu explained that Irans most likely response to the severe sanctions under the snapback mechanism would be its abandonment of theTreaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons(NPT) an international agreement that over 190 nations have signed, pledging either not to transfer weapons to another recipient by nuclear-capable nations, or not to develop atomic arms by non-nuclear nations, among other commitments.TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO STOP IRAN FROM MAKING NUCLEAR BOMB: 'DANGEROUS TERRITORY'The terms of the agreement are monitored by the U.N.s International Atomic Energy Agency which Iran has already suspended cooperation with following U.S. and Israeli strikes against its nuclear program last month."In a world in which Iran's most likely response is to leave the NPT, one has to be confident in at least the ability of military threats to deter Iran further, or at least the credibility of America's and Israels, or the international community's, military options against Iran moving forward," Ben Taleblu said."The problem is the lack of a game plan. Has America provided Europe with a game plan, a road map for post-snapback?" he added, noting there needs to be a much larger strategy for next steps should sanctions be reinforced.Though the U.S. assesses that Irans nuclear program has been stunted by up to two years, experts remain convinced that Tehrans atomic ambitions have not been deterred, and its ties to terrorist networks and adversarial nations mean it remains a top security concern.Trump has said he is still committed to negotiating with Iran on its nuclear program, though questions remain over how long he will continue to allow negotiations to drag out before a European nation like the U.K., France or Germany must step in to enact snapback sanctions not only before the October deadline, but before Russia takes over control of the UNSC presidency that month.Pushing through the snapback mechanism is expected to be a roughly six-week process.Reports on Sunday suggested that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz could call up the snapback measures as soon as Tuesday, and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee championed the move in a post on X.But Fox News Digital could not independently verify these claims and the German Foreign Ministry told Israeli news outlet JNS that the claims were incorrect.The chancellors office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digitals questions.

    Zohran Mamdani press conference abruptly ends with aide pulling him away during reporters questions
    An endorsement event for Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, came to an abrupt end Monday when he was pulled offstage by a campaign aide.After accepting the American Federation of Musicians, Local 802's endorsement, Mamdani answered a few questions about former Gov. Andrew Cuomo deciding to stay in the race as an independent candidate and his upcoming meeting with House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.About 20 minutes into the event, before Mamdani could continue answering reporters' questions, his campaign staffers stepped in to say: "I think we're done here. We're going to go. Come on. We're wrapping up, folks. Sorry folks. We're wrapping up."But Mamdani stood by the podium, attempting to hear the reporters' questions over the chorus of campaign aides' voices, until the band on site for the event began playing "When the Saints Go Marching In." With a smile on his face, Mamdani was pulled away when a campaign aide grabbed his arm.MAMDANI LANDS ENDORSEMENT OF A TOP CUOMO BACKER IN NYC MAYORAL PRIMARYMamdani has kept a busy campaign schedule since securing the Democratic nomination last month.MAMDANI'S PRIMARY WIN EXPOSES DEMOCRAT DIVIDE AS TOP LEADERS WITHHOLD ENDORSEMENTSHe has hosted several endorsement events, including from the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) and New York Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat. The campaign has opened up questions to reporters at the end of these endorsement events.The 33-year-old candidate is expected to host an event with fellow self-described democratic socialist, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Wednesday in Washington, D.C. Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Mamdani ahead of his primary win last month.And during the endorsement event Monday, Mamdani confirmed his meeting with Jeffries later this week. Jeffries told Fox News Digital he would meet with Mamdani at home in Brooklyn at the end of the week.The House Minority Leader has yet to endorse Mamdani since he secured the Democratic nomination."I'm looking forward to that meeting with Congressman Jeffries," Mamdani said Monday before adding, "I'm looking forward to being a partner to Congressman Jeffries in winning back the House and continuing to fight back against Donald Trump's agenda, and in delivering, at the same time, for New Yorkers across the five boroughs."
