NEW: Zohran Mamdani's multi-racial coalition toppled Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday. He won three of five boroughs, the renter class, & "middle income" residents; doing best overall with younger & less frequent voters. My take on Mamdani's Mandate:.

Getting 12-pieced by M-A-M-D-A-N-I must have been humiliating enough. So I don’t understand why Cuomo would sign up to get 25-pieced in November. Time to hang it up. It’s Zoh-ver.
"Cuomo has insisted there’s a path forward in a five-candidate general election field and referenced public polling that showed him neck-and-neck with incumbent Eric Adams. So far, the argument doesn’t seem to be working," @NickReisman & @joeanuta report:.

Where I think things are trending as of now. — Andrew Cuomo does not run in the General Election. — Business elites consolidate behind Eric Adams. — No write-in campaign materializes. — Curtis Sliwa remains the GOP nominee. — Zohran Mamdani wins decisively.

Martin out, Gerson in?
@cwebbonline The next chair of the DNC should be whoever came up with the idea for Zohran to walk the length of Manhattan four days before ED. Just perfect.

One week ago today, we shocked the establishment and redrew the political map of New York City with a campaign relentlessly focused on the needs of working people. Let's break it down.

Also WILD that Zohran’s 5th best Senate District is the “Asian Opportunity” SD17 in Southern Brooklyn. Trump won this district by 15% in 2024. I’ll be fascinated by the margin this November. Talk about a Narrative War.

Zohran+20 in Jessica Ramos’ Senate District. That race starts as Likely JGR in 2026.
Map of the 2025 NYC Mayor first preference winner by State Senate district. Despite losing citywide, Andrew Cuomo won 15 of the 28 SDs fully or partially within NYC. Cuomo's best SDs were in South Brooklyn & North Bronx; Mamdani's along the Brooklyn-Queens border.

Folks know I love Michelle Wu. PROS.— YOUNG + Executive Experience.— A-tier urban coalition.— Untethered to DC, Biden, Establishment. CONS.— Typecast as Warren Dem.— Blue, Coastal City.— General Election vulnerability?. (IMO both Wu & Pressley succeed Markey/Warren).
Here's a thought: what about Boston Mayor Michelle Wu for 2028? I haven't looked into her record but she seems to be super popular.
