It's just a primary guys. Let's hope he wins the seat.
It would take a catastrophe for him not to.
His opponents in the general are as follows:
The corrupt former governor sex pest he just beat, running as an independent in order to get a do-over
Current mayor in spite of being a hair's breath from prison until he went full MAGA, always being a fascist cop (but I repeat myself) and genuinely unhinged, Eric Adams
Perennial loser and hyper-racist vigilante lunatic Curtis Sliwa.
Not only are they all awful candidates in themselves, their core demographics also overlap to such a degree that it'll be an upset if more than one of them reaches double digits!
If NYC uses ranked choice voting in the general as well and Cuomo learns from his disaster of a campaign then he might try coalition-building with Eric Adams or others to pull off a win by getting neoliberals and MAGA to gang up on Zohran. It's a headscratcher for me because I never expect neoliberals to learn from their mistakes, and yet they might actually feel forced to because they never fail to pull out all the stops against progressives, let alone an actual socialist.
It does not, for some weird reason. City primaries only.
Hey, nobody messes with the Zohran!
hope it annoys Adam Sandler.
That's what's fun about the whole establishment coming out swinging against him - he just won the primary. He's not even elected yet, and they are losing their shit.
(also, didn't notice until after posting that you'd posted 2 days ago - sorry for the necro post!)
Two days old post is still relevant on Lemmy. It's when someone responds to a 3+ month comment that I'm like, "how did you find me?!"
I think Cuomo is going to stay in the race, it will be interesting to see who wealthy establishment Dems support.
