Just an FYI: In 21 only one democratic Senator made an endorsement in the NYC Mayor's race

and that was Chuck Schumer.

Why? Because he's the only Senator who actually lives in New York City.
Cory Booker and no other democratic senator made any endorsement in that race in 21. So to set a new standard now as a purity test is unfair.

Mamdani is going to win. Especially with it being revealed yesterday that Cuomo was taking order from Krasnov. Add in Adam's kissing Trump's ass . . .


I'll bet the Mamdani campaign is waiting until the last few weeks of the election to hit the Adams campaign hard with that.

I think the only mic-op Mamdani has missed the past few days is the protest yesterday for that sweet horse Lady who collapsed in Manhattan on Tuesday morning. Sliwa is there. That's the only chance he has to be heard, so he took advantage of it.
