New York state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani was on the brink of a stunning Democratic primary win Tuesday for New York City mayor, with his top challenger, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, conceding the race.
Cuomo’s speech seemed to go more into the direction of sitting this one out and wait for a safer way to attempt a comeback.
He’s probably going to do some polling but unless there’s some big advantage for him in a realistic scenario, trying to run and risking losing can damage his political career beyond repair. And yes, on an ideal world it would already be dead beyond saving, but we have the world we have.
I can’t wait to see what centrists are going to do instead of voting blue no matter who.
No idea who Mamdani is but they are sure to blame ranked-choice voting and keep trying to get it banned.
Simple: vote for Cuomo.
