"New polling from the campaign of Zohran Mamdani has the the democratic socialist surging closer to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming NYC mayoral primary. In the first round of ranked-choice voting, Cuomo leads him 40-27 percent, a lead that becomes 56-44 when the tabulations are finished. A poll of Jewish voters in NewYork finds 31% backing Cuomo and 20% siding with Mamdani. Cuomo’s relatively narrow lead among Jewish voters complicates his effort to paint Mamdani as antisemitic. "

      Low effort voters who recognize the name, but forgot exactly where from.

      Other voters who are fully aware that he’s a crook, “but he’s our crook”.

      Throw in a few other olds who liked his dad, and poof, he’s the mayor!

    Reminder: like Adams before him, Cuomo is the DNC-backed candidate.

    Way to back the criminal right wing scumbags, Dem establishment! 🤬

      It’s a NY tradition to back criminal right wing scumbags masquerading as Democrats. We wouldn’t want to disrupt the status quo.

    It would not surprise me in the least if Creeper Cuomo is elected in NYC.

    All he has to do is promise to be really fucking cruel to homeless people and the voters will forget what an immense piece of shit he is.
