    The one glimmer of hope here is that NYC has ranked choice voting in the primaries. It’s highly likely that the voters with a preference for the third place or lower candidates (except Eric Adams) would put Mamdani as their second choice, or at least higher than Cuomo. That would make it a 41% to 38% split which means the share Mamdani would need of the undecideds and Adams voters is manageable.

      Adams voters definitely go to Cuomo so its closer to 47/38 split and Cuomo has an advantage over undecideds due to name recognition. If we’re generous and split undecideds down the middle its still a 55/45 split for Cuomo.

      Mamdani has a chance to be sure but its s slim one. He would have to win at least 80% of undecideds

      If you consider the coherency of a typical person’s political ideology (none, for many USians), then all elections can be is a popularity contest.

        My wife used to work with this woman that dutifully voted for her state legislator for years. One day, she went to an event that he was at and she thought, “Huh, he looks way too young given how long he’s been in office.”

        Yeah, turned out said legislator had retired years ago and his son took over the seat. She had been voting for the son for years and didn’t know it.

          When your state legislator is just three LLCs in a trenchcoat, it turns out they can achieve immortality after all.
