    Last gasp push to consolidate the Cuomo vote?

    I hope Mamdani enjoys his new job.

    Adams’ name will still be on ballots this fall, since he exited the race after a deadline to print them.

    That’s funny. Every vote for Adams will be a mistake, as was always the case.

    I imagine that he’s currently having a cry about what stephen miller’s wife’s bagman has told him the regime wants him to do next.

    They’d have to consolidate all other votes behind Cuomo to even have a chance, looking at the latest polling.

      LoL, that’s assuming the people who were going to vote for Adams are going to vote for Cuomo and not Sliwa. Adam’s was saved from prosecution by Trump and had his endorsement. No liberal worth anything would have been planning yo vote for him.

        I’m not saying it’s likely by any means - quite the opposite. Managing to gather the voters of all those other candidates under one banner is probably not going to happen

        Saudi Arabia and Turkey seem to be options.

    On the one hand, fuck adams. On the other, I appreciated him splitting the idiot and asshole votes between him and cuomo.

      His name will still be on the ballot, so he’ll probably leach some of the idiot vote, still.

    Oh oh. It’s happening. They’re consolidating. Expect a huge October surprise. And if nothing else works, Kirking the leading candidate.

    The only problem I have with this is that he was providing some (admittedly minimal) dilution to the Cuomo opposition. Now Cuomo can market his gain as “increasing support” for his policies.

    In the end I don’t think it will matter, but we still are yet to hit the usual “October surprise” period so I don’t like to get cocky.
