1. I guess this is how they think they will stop Mamdani

It’s not impossible for a Republican to win the governorship. It will be interesting to see how much support she gets from the outer boroughs.

2. A Rockefeller Republican yes,

A Pataki Republican yes.
A MAGA asshole like Stefanik....no.

3. I guess her House District is safe.

Certain GOP legislators in Albany are rumored to be interested in replacing her in Congress.

Announcements are likely to be forthcoming now that she herself has announced a gubernatorial bid.

4. This will be hilarious.

Watching her campaign for a statewide office instead of a safely red district and watching this woman with a brain like a moth in a jar squirm when confronted with the crazy shit she's said and voted for will be very entertaining.
