Cuomo is a total loser if he stays in this race. i'm surprised he's dumb enough to do so
he can salvage some pride, and brand, if he walks away now. but if he goes out a loser again in november
Fun fact. The head of the NYC Teachers Union wanted to endorse Andrew Cuomo and Cuomo was begging for it.
However Mulgrew (the leader) knew that the teachers overwhelmingly wanted Zohran so he had to fall back and say it’s split that’s why we can’t support anyone.
As Errol Lewis on the local NY1 highlighted Zohran does so well with the highly educated that Mulgrew could have faced a recall if he went with Cuomo.
It was a nice exercise in watching Political survival from the teachers union. I have no doubt that the teachers will now fully support Zohran.

Maybe I didn’t put the right post. Here’s the article instead:
Major Unions Are Dropping Cuomo to Back Mamdani in N.Y.C. Mayor’s Race
The powerful hotel workers union and Local 32BJ are switching their endorsements to Zohran Mamdani, a sign that Democratic power brokers are coalescing behind him.Two powerful New York City labor unions that had supported former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in this year’s race for mayor have decided to abandon him and endorse Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old state assemblyman who has a commanding lead in the Democratic primary.
The two endorsements, along with one from a third union that did not back a candidate in the primary, seemed to be a clear sign that traditional Democratic power brokers are beginning to consolidate behind Mr. Mamdani.
Leaders of the three unions, the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council; Local 32BJ SEIU, which represents doormen and other building workers; and the New York State Nurses Association, said they were supporting Mr. Mamdani, a democratic socialist, because he had made affordability and working people his campaign’s centerpiece. They promised to invest in boots-on-the-ground campaigns to help him beat Mayor Eric Adams in November.
The switch to Mr. Mamdani may be a nod to political reality. The general election is poised to be particularly heated, but the Democratic candidate for mayor is the generally considered the heavy favorite to win in a city where Democrats outnumber Republicans six to one.
We are confident that whenever we’re in a fight, Zohran will be on our side standing up for hospitality workers,” said Rich Maroko, the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council’s president. “That’s why we are genuinely excited to endorse Zohran and ready to help him win in November.”
The striking shift in union support came despite some effort by Mr. Cuomo’s camp to persuade labor leaders to hold off in moving to Mr. Mamdani, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
“This is a campaign for the working people of this city who deserve dignity on the job and neighborhoods they can afford,” Mr. Mamdani said, welcoming the endorsements. “That’s exactly who HTC, 32BJ and NYSNA fight and deliver for every single day, and I am honored to have their support.”
The labor realignment comes at a pivotal time for Mr. Mamdani, who is working to gather the Democratic establishment behind him and strip from Mr. Cuomo the kind of institutional support he would need to run an effective third-party campaign. Most of the state’s senior Democratic leaders, including Gov. Kathy Hochul, Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries, have congratulated but not endorsed Mr. Mamdani.
While they hesitate, Mr. Adams, who opted out of the Democratic primary to run as an independent, has restarted his campaign. The morning after Mr. Mamdani’s apparent victory on Tuesday, Mr. Adams appeared on the show “Fox & Friends” to denounce him as a “snake oil salesman.”
And on Thursday, when the former CNN anchor Don Lemon asked the mayor if he thought Mr. Mamdani’s criticism of Israel made him an “antisemite,” Mr. Adams responded, “Yes, I do.”
Now, some business leaders who had previously backed Mr. Cuomo are considering using their influence and money to help the mayor, who claims to share their alarm about Mr. Mamdani’s promise to create expansive new government programs financed by tax increases on wealthy New Yorkers and corporations.
Others are urging Mr. Cuomo to stay in the race.
“I’d like Cuomo to still run,” the media executive Barry Diller told The New York Times. (Mr. Diller contributed $250,000 to a super PAC that supported Mr. Cuomo’s primary run).
The unions that switched their endorsements, the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council and Local 32BJ, backed Mr. Adams in 2021. Their field operations proved critical to his narrow win and provided needed heft to an ill-fated Cuomo campaign that was no match for Mr. Mamdani’s volunteer field operation, whose sheer size lacked modern precedent.
Labor stands to play a key role in ensuring that Mr. Mamdani makes it to City Hall. The bulk of the hotel workers’ union’s 40,000 members live in the city, and the union typically outperforms its size thanks to its robust political operation. The building workers’ union, 32BJ, has about 85,000 members in the city.
The memberships of both unions are largely people of color, a constituency that Mr. Mamdani must continue to cultivate to beat Mr. Adams. DC37, the city’s largest union of municipal workers, endorsed Mr. Mamdani as its No. 2 choice in the primary, behind Adrienne Adams, the City Council speaker. (DC37 endorsed Mr. Adams in the 2021 primary.)
Mr. Cuomo relied heavily on paid canvassers and union members going door-to-door on his behalf. The hotel workers’ union also contributed $1 million to a super PAC that supported him. The union is now likely to fund an independent expenditure for Mr. Mamdani in the fall, a spokesman said.
A hotel union official said that its efforts were largely responsible for Mr. Cuomo’s double digitleads in parts of Jamaica, Ozone Park, and Richmond Hill in Queens, and in parts of Pelham Gardens in the Bronx.
Mr. Cuomo’s campaign seemed resigned to having lost the union endorsements. “We appreciated and valued their support during the primary,” said Rich Azzopardi, a campaign spokesman.
Manny Pastreich, the president of 32BJ, in a statement, that “New York’s janitors, airport workers, residential building service workers, security officers, school custodians and window cleaners are ready to join Zohran in the effort to achieve that vision and do the work it takes to get there.”
And Nancy Hagans, the president of the nurses’ association, which has 30,000 members working at the city’s public and private hospitals, said the union was proud to back “a candidate who consistently puts the interests of working people first.”
On Thursday, Mr. Mamdani received a warm greeting at the hotel union’s headquarters near Times Square as he met with members and received their endorsement. On Friday, he met with leaders of building workers’ union, which promptly voted to endorse him, too.

so why don't you try knocking off the weird nonsense, so people will actually vote for you in the primary?I wish I was trolling
why can't you just separate the economic populism, from the garbage that loses you so many voters? is it really THAT difficult for you to fathom?
why does "medicare and childcare for all" have to come with drunk driving illegals, and trannies in sports? i'm being dead serious. can't you just look at a fukking poll?
