Yes, Cuomo gained so many Black and Latino votes because he's going to prevent gentrification
Look, I know a lot of older black people in NYC, especially Brooklyn and queens. When I asked them why they were planning to vote for Cuomo, the answers fell into 3 categories
1. I knew his father Mario
2. I don't know anything about Mamdani
3. Isn't Mamdani Muslim?
There are plenty of valid arguments to vote against Mamdani and prefer someone like Lander, or Adams, or Brooks. Voting for Cuomo? Someone who viewed the city government as a hostile entity while he was governor?
I have family in this demographic we speak of. I have no issue labeling them as low information voters. I promise you, they arent thinking about Cuomo saving Bed Stuy or Brownsville
