      Chuck and Hakeem’s AIPAC checks are much more important than “the future of the republic”. Their cocktail party budget has exploded over the last 2 years!

        You guys just need to pick yourself up by your bootstraps and get a well paying gig as controlled opposition.

        I remember some saying that the Democrats only exist to foil progressive candidates.

        It really does seem like I’ve heard more shots taken at Mamdani than Trump…

    In a Fox News poll released Thursday, Mamdani received 52 percent from likely voters, followed by Cuomo with 28 percent and Sliwa with 14 percent. Among registered voters, Mamdani dipped slightly to 49 percent while Cuomo held at 28 percent and Sliwa got 13 percent. The poll surveyed 1,003 New York City registered voters from October 10 to October 14.

    Almost double his closest rival.

    Damn those numbers on Adams are abysmal even for a dropout. He should consider moving somewhere else after his term ends. Maybe he can room with Giuliani in exile for NYC mayors who are despised by their own city.

      I suspect Cuomo is going to get 3rd place. Curtis Sliwa is at least a kind of funny, classic New Yawk guy. Cuomo just sucks.

        Would be very funny, but New York is a Democratic stronghold. It’s very unlikely that Sliwa will gain much if any support he doesn’t already have.

      Yes, but only because the ranked choice voting in the Democratic primary likely gave some voters/organizers/donaters confidence to back a longshot candidate like Mamdani, which eventually snowballed into a plurality win in the first round of the primary, a majority win after ranked choice took effect, and a polling lead in the first past the post general election. Still a success story, I’d say, but not a direct and unquestionable cause/effect chain
