The New York state assemblyman sent political shock waves across New York City when he defeated political stalwart and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary, further advancing a contentious election cycle that has Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams vying for the mayoral seat as independent candidates, alongside former federal prosecutor Jim Walden.
On the Republican side of the race, 71-year-old conservative activist and talk show host Curtis Sliwa is aiming for a major upset.
I’m a Democratic Strategist and you can be SURE I’m taking NOTES! The REASON is that he DOESNT have a Billionaire Sex Offender running AGAINST him! Only MILLIONARE Sex Offenders! IF we can find a BILLIONAIRE Sex Offender to Run we can BEAT Mamdani! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
