"Cuomo frequently called Frank Carone ... to discuss what would be needed for the mayor to drop out, said one of the former staffers... Carone briefed Cuomo on job offers Adams received, including what looked promising and what was falling apart" https://t.co/YKFBYstfB2 via @WSJ

The former governor, part of New York’s political firmament for nearly half a century, finished what may be his final campaign with a bruising loss to Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor’s race.

Cuomo has 854,783 votes right now, which would have been enough to win any other NYC mayor race this century. Both of them grew the electorate; Mamdani just grew it by more. Also hovering over 50%, so Sliwa didn't spoil anything: Cuomo just lost.

Mamdani's victory speech referenced Eugene Debs, Jawaharlal Nehru and... Mario Cuomo.

Andrew Cuomo's political career bookended by New York City mayoral election losses. In the case of his father, it was the precursor to a storied electoral career. For the son, it's a coda to a scandal-induced resignation.

Overheard while walking to the train this morning: “Can you believe it? He endorsed Cuomo!” The election has pretty much become part of New York’s ambient noise.

Interesting detail in this @joeanuta piece on @ZohranKMamdani and the @nycDSA: "Even the Mamdani resolution was the subject of debate, with an earlier version modified after some DSA factions wanted more leeway to hold Mamdani accountable." https://t.co/c9lZgJUMRB

I’m a Democratic Capitalist, not a Democratic Socialist. I endorse Andrew Cuomo. I can not back a declared socialist with a thin resume to run the most complex city in America. We need leaders who will fight crime, not undermine the police. Who will��create jobs, not harm the

A spokeswoman for The Times of London: “The Times has apologised to Bill de Blasio and removed the article immediately after discovering that our reporter had been misled by an individual falsely claiming to be the former New York mayor."

Looks like The Times of London story that purported to quote ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio critical of Zohran Mamdani has been taken down, sans explanation for whatever the hell happened here

Bill de Blasio says in an interview that he never spoke to the Times of London and did not say what they're reporting: "I'm astounded. It's a complete fabrication." On Mamdani's policy plans: "I have said publicly many times I think they're achievable. I believe in his vision."
