A breakdown of the scandals facing Cuomo vs. the scandals facing Mamdani
#USPol #Politics #NYC #NewYork #Cuomo #Mamdani #ZohranMamdani #News
Ben! (Boo!)I dismissed Cuomo's ability to run for President long before the harassment scandal, because the open corruption of deals and associations he could get away with in such a corrupt state as New York wouldn't work in a national primary, they'd eat him alive in ways that far surpassed what was done to Bloomberg. The scandals have always been constant.
Mamdani is proving me right with his newest ad going straight after the corruption and bad friends of #Cuomo
Maggie#Mamdani wants to freeze my rent. #Cuomo wants to evict me because he doesn't understand the concept of fluctuating annual wages.
Let's elect a mayor who wants all New Yorkers to succeed and have stability. Someone who will build more affordable housing rather than waste taxpayer dollars on annual means testing.
Someone who actually lives here and cares about us, rather than pleasing Trump, the Walton family, and the rest of his billionaire donors.

The Conversation U.S.Democratic Socialist Zohran #Mamdani shocked NYC by winning the Democratic mayoral primary—beating Andrew #Cuomo in a landslide.
But it wasn’t unprecedented. For historians, it looked a lot like socialist novelist Upton Sinclair’s primary victory in 1934 (thread)

Steve's PlaceThe Cuomos seem like C- students who failed upward together. At least, they have each other.

"What was notable was the Times’ report that 'in a previously undisclosed call in recent weeks, Mr. Trump spoke about the race directly with Mr. Cuomo, an old associate and foil, according to three people briefed on the call, who were not authorized to discuss it.'”
As Nichols says, it will be a cold day in hell before New Yorkers vote for a person who kisses up to Donald Trump.
"That wasn’t exactly a shocker, as Trump has made no secret of his disdain for Mamdani, whom the president has falsely called 'a communist' and threatened to arrest and potentially deport (despite the fact that Mamdani is a US citizen)."
"This week, The New York Times reported that Republican President Donald Trump is weighing some kind of intervention in the New York contest to try to stop Mamdani, a democratic socialist and critic of the president."
