But this may be a smarter move than people are giving him credit for to stop Adams from being reelected.
Theres a chance of ranked choice voting knocking Cuomo out. Mamdani and Lander have cross endorsed each other for this purpose.
If either of them win, I think Adams has a decent chance of winning reelection by consolidating the black vote. I dont see Mamdani or Lander doing that. Cuomo would be much more competitive in this regard.
Cuomo is an ass hole, but Mamdani is borderline antisemitic and is just a terrible fit for the city. I know most disagree but a democratic socialist mayor would be a godsend for republicans nationwide. I would expect an exodus of companies headquartered there. Lost jobs wouldnt surprise me either. Either way, his proposals are all pie in the sky. Theres no practical way of paying for anything.
Sorry, I just dont see understand why Israel is so fucking important for the fate of NYC. I dont like what Israel is doing. Its insane. But mayors arent elected to conduct foreign policy. Sad to say, but Cuomo seems like the only sane choice here.
