    There are no other Democrats running. Mamdani won the primary.

    Cuomo is running as an independent despite just having lost to him…badly. And the current mayor is also no longer a Democrat since he was indicted on corruption charges and the rest of the party told him he should resign. Now he’s seen as a Trump shill, since Trump got the DoJ to drop all charges against him.

      Don’t bother with this guy, @[email protected] has done some mental gymnastics to justify starving the Palestinian population. So it really isn’t surprising they would want to vote for the most ghoulish option.

      Yes, that’s what I’m saying. There’s no way that anyone except Mamdani will win unless something really bizarre happens. He’s not going to lose to forced-to-resign-in-disgrace Cuomo or should-have-been-forced-to-resign-in-disgrace Adams, and he’s certainly not going to lose to Silwa. People who are afraid that the Democratic establishment will succeed in sabotaging him don’t need to worry. In fact, I’m surprised that Paterson is apparently willing to embarrass himself by trying something so clearly futile.
