It wouldnt matter, anyone challenging the status quo will never be placed in a position to threaten its existence

Let's see how Mamdani does. He has been needlessly capitulating to the liberals in the party in a way that aleinates his base of support. If his lead holds, or if he wins, then this guy should gun for Jeffries' seat.

He/s gonna win anyway. I mean remember: There is no other electable candidate in that race; Curtis Silwa is right out, and Cuomo's chumminess with Trump would disqualify him if he wasn't already disqualified by being a known sex pest. This sort of candidate can make it nation or even statewide, but not in NYC. A Mamdani win, especially with his party nomination, isn't enough to draw any kind of conclusion.

I wish that were true. Im old enough to remember how a lot of these elections have played out in the past. You can never be too sure about the voting public. Sliwa is, of course, a non-starter. BUT, Cuomo has name recognition and the average voter doesnt turn out in the primary - they wait for the main event and the people who wait are also less informed and less plugged into politics. Yes, Mamdani blew Cuomo away in the primary but the voters in primaries are a different clade than those that show up for the general. Im just saying, it is not a gimme. Remember, Hillary Clinnton was basically an 80% lock for the 2016 election and here we are.
