Calling Mamdani as good for NYC is likely just as rich.  He's basically hoping folks in NYC forgot about Bill DeBlasio.  

I'm not saying Mamdani isn't pointing out legitimate issues and issues that should be priority.  I just don't have any confidence a democratic socialist will make the right decisions to correct those issues without exacerbating other issues, and not fixing the issues at hand.

Cuomo would probably be a better mayor, but he doesn't represent change, which is what people want.   He does represent the status quo, which isn't great either.

The good Coumo is long gone

Which will totally work because everyone knows criminals posing as ICE would never, ever identify themselves as ICE.

Right wing genius in its undistilled form.

Well, y'know, they've been trying it the other way for decades on end and as Bunker says, NYC is a toilet, so ... 😉

The plane crashed on takeoff so it wouldn't have had anything to do with an ATC failure.  

 

Why are people so bad at keeping the camera shot focused on the subject? Or do they have better, clearer video that is so graphic they would never post it from this account?

The funny part is you thought there was a good Cuomo.

Yeah, I was shocked how quickly Virginia was called.

Looks like a double digit, 10 point soon possible for Spanberger.

It may be higher.... she still has room to gain

[mtutiger]

Ultra low tunout, but the D candidates in the Public Commissioner Races in Georgia are likely to win their races by double digits... which is wild for a place like Georgia lol

I think the assumptions about Hispanics from "Demographics are Destiny" 2.0 MAGAs might be a bit premature

Proud of my adopted state.  Proud of Dems for stepping up for Democracy.

Want to see more of the NJ returns come in, but for as much as we talk about the polls whiffing on Trump/GOP, they may have errored in the other direction in some of these races.

Jones is going to end up winning by closer to 5-6 points, yet it seemed like the majority of the polls had Miyares winning close

I emailed John James since he was a no show for the debate. I asked him if he is paying attention to Virginia because lazy Trump sycophants are going down.

Looks like a strong night across the board for Democrats. Looking at the state election site the House of Delegates remains blue. In our district the long time Republican rep was defeated.

The usual caveats on extrapolating aside, a world of double digit shifts away in urban/suburban areas coupled with 4-8 point shifts in rural GOP counties would make for a really really bad night if it happens in 2026.... no amount of gerrymandering would prevent huge losses.

Don't seem like Republicans are learning anything.

I'm wondering how much an effect the attack ads from the Republican Party had in these races. Especially at the state House of Delegate level. At least in my neck of the woods the two main races (Governor and House of Delegates; The Republican office holder and Winsome-Sears ran a very negative campaign that might turned off many voters who were on the fence.

This was the most important election of the night.
