NY-12: Michael Cohen Considers Run for Congress

[RandySF]

Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s ex-attorney-turned-critic who has characterized his former boss as a “conman” and “racist,” is considering a run for Congress, Semafor reports.

Cohen said he would run as a Democrat, potentially mounting a primary challenge against Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the party’s top member on the House Judiciary Committee.

4. I don't think this will

end well for him. Too much repuke baggage and I wouldn't trust him.

[mucifer]

5. Why run against Nadler? I don't trust him. He

Doesn’t deserve that seat.

[jimfields33]

12. Although true. Could jerry Nadler retire?

That’s the only way I could see cohen deciding to do this.

[Marcuse]

That is my district, maybe if he'd run in 2022, when we had two sitting representatives in the same district. In 22 NY collapsed two Manhattan districts onto each other to give up the seat that our state delegation lost after the census. Then he might have had a chance of being a spoiler, with 2 Congress members and a rich heir running as a spoiler. In a four or more primary maybe he'd have moved a percent or two max. But now that Nadler is the incumbent zero chance, this is just a money grab on Mr Cohen's part.

13. No, he really isn't that smart

[Joinfortmill]

14. He did a good thing exposing Trump, but...no.

[Grown2Hate]

15. "Which polls? Which polls?"

If he was running against a seat held by a Repuke, MAYBE. MAYBE.

But against Nadler? GF yourself.

[Silent Type]

16. LOL. Reminds me of Avenatti.

[Takket]

17. Why is it some people can't ever just "go away"?

[Sympthsical]

18. Haven't been this excited since Avenatti for President!

Cable news keeps making people think they're qualified for things.

Terrible business.
