"Despite lacking any political experience, Ms Nixon has managed to build an impressively-sized liberal base during her campaign against Democratic incumbent Andrew Cuomo. And even though shes trailing the governor by 41 points in the latest polls, shes hoping for a surprise upset victory in Thursdays primary election similar to the ones other firebrand candidates have seen across the country this year.
If all else fails, Ms Nixon tells me shell remain a prominent voice in New York politics. When asked if shed consider running again, or if shed bow out after a potential loss in the upcoming elections, her answer was simple: "Im not going anywhere."

"Ms Nixons campaign has hatched a backup plan in the event of her election loss. The Working Families Party has agreed to provide her their space on the November ballot, allowing her to appear as a contender against Mr Cuomo even if he secures the Democratic Partys nomination in Thursday's primaries.
The governor appears to be fully aware of that threat. His campaign has reportedly began scheduling fundraising events to arrive immediately after the primaries, including one as soon as next week."
