With Eric Adams deciding to run for re-election as an independent, the general election for NYC Mayor could be a 5-way with:
Cuomo can win with a plurality in the upper 30s. He’s leading in the polls, not because he’s a good candidate, but because the other Democrats are insane:
The New York Working Families Party is rallying with its mayoral endorsement slate: Zohran Mamdani, Adrienne Adams, Zellnor Myrie and Brad Lander.”
