There's a decent chance that Cuomo will run as a sore loser independent in the November general election. I wager AIPAC

[Celerity]

will urge him to do so and will back him with millions and millions of USD in attack adverts against Zohran Mamdani.



I predict Sliwa (Rethug) and Adams (running as an independent as well) will join in the attacks.

Cuomo has said that, if he loses the primary, he would consider running as an independent in November’s general election on a ballot that will also include current scandal-plagued Mayor Eric Adams, who is also running as an independent.

1. I think he will back Adams.

[iemanja]

2. He's selfish enough

As evidenced by his history of sexual harassment.

[Skittles]

3. some people just cannot give up power

it sucks

[Bread and Circuses]

4. Congrats to Zohran!

I agree, the entrenched big $ is going to cause havoc.I read that Bill endorsed Cuomo , whilst Hillary didn’t.


We’re watching from around the country . We don’t want a sexual harasser anywhere in political office.

5. No matter what happens in the general

Watching the establishment get pied like this was great fun.

8. Humble pie tastes like victory.

Tasty!

6. It doesn't matter who runs

it's ranked choice voting. They'll be 4 kinda viable,. candidates.

[Dorian Gray]

7. No RCV in the general

that's just the primary

[iemanja]

9. I read that ranked choice is only for primaries. Nt

10. If that's the case

Mamdani is a shoe in

[ecstatic]

11. I'm just now seeing a few clips of Mamdani. He's really good!

There's no way Cuomo can beat him. Setting aside the harassment accusations, I just don't like his communication style. Time to retire.

[LudwigPastorius]

12. I think his political career is over.

He's gone from cabinet secretary, to governor, and now to a failed primary for the mayor's office, all the while sporting one of the most recognizable names in New York.

Seriously, if he does go independent and loses, what office does he pursue next, dogcatcher?

[Nixie]

13. Cuomo is a Democrat and Independents are fully idolized

in the party as cherished “critiquers.” I’ve heard for years that the voters having choices was the real goal of bringing independents in. We’re all about helping voters.
