    So you think Jefferies’ voters are so concerned about Mamdani they’ll primary Jefferies if he endorses him, but not concerned enough to vote against Mamdani in the first place? That’s more likely than Jefferies not wanting to piss off his biggest donor?

      I’m saying caution is a fine approach in the face of uncertainties, hopefully Mamdani’s polls look great and Jefferies endorses him wholeheartedly.

        Jefferies had no problem endorsing Cuomo, who resigned due to corruption and sexual misconduct allegations, and was rejected by Jefferies’ voters. He’s picked an odd time to become cautious with his endorsements.

          That’s true, despite Cuomo have a record of success in NYC elections he was a really shit candidate.
