Democratic Party leaders in the city’s most conservative borough are jumping on the Zohran Mamdani bandwagon in what critics are calling the political equivalent of a “shotgun wedding.”
Staten Island Democrats are making nice with the party nominee after backing his rival, ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the June Democratic Party primary. Cuomo is now running in the general election on an independent, minor-party line.
“Zohran is the Democratic nominee. The voters have spoken,” said Laura LoBianco Sword, chairwoman of the borough’s Democratic Party.

The voters have spoken.
Have they? Have they really?
Seems to me that 60% of democrat voters sat out the primary. And thanks to ranked choice voting, the socialist anti-semite avoided a run off.

The movie, "Escape from New York" seems almost prophetic, at this point.

For a city that is a financial capital of the USA, NYC has the dumbest voters

Imagine if the republicans had a viable candidate to overcome this self created chaos.
Instead Catsamatides puts moron Curtis Sliwa up again. Sliwa has run nothing but his mouth - ask his 3 ex wives or his baby moma. He has always been out for himself I knew him 50 years ago and he was a moron then.
The flaccid NYS republicans are culpable for not taking their responsibilities as an opposition party.

New York USED to be a great place to visit. Not so much anymore and will be even less if Zohran bamboozles enough voters.
Sometimes you have to break something to fix it, and I dare say Zohran will be the one who breaks NY, but good.

Andrew Cuomo is a repulsive individual but Mamdani is dangerous in a different way. Truth is, New York City is broken and nobody smart or competent wants a job that promises failure at every turn. The voters have no choice at all. They are deeply in debt thanks to Adams, the sanctuary city status and millions spent catering to illegal aliens. Working taxpayers who stay there will be squeezed in a big way.

Tell your residents to prepare for higher taxes to pay for all of your new Mayor's socialist programs.
One more thing, when you run out of money, don't bother running to Trump. The answer is no.

Staten Island is voting for Curtis Sliwa, the Republican as it always votes for the GOP. It voted for Trump 3 times, Bush, Reagan. It is more like the Midwest than it is a NYC borough. I should know as I live here.

New Yorkers are going to have a Communist Mayor. They are going to pay the price for that is ways they cannot even imagine. Most of the giveaways he’s promising are pipe dreams with no funding to back them up. What he will do is drive the millionaires and billionaires he reviles out of New York leaving the fools who voted for him to pick up the bill.

Good morning, Alicia. So good to see you here. Yes, Staten Island will vote for Curtis Sliwa. And for once Sliwa actually could have a chance given Trump's growing support in NYS and the City in the last election. With some money, a creative campaign and a Republican party to support him with the capacity to get out the vote across the City, Sliwa could win. But, NYC has NO Republican Party that is capable of running a mayoral campaign, flooding the City with good ads outlining exactly the choice voters have in November between a communist, destructor, Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa, who knows and loves this City with every fiber of his being. Where is the Republican Party state chair, Ed Cox? No where. Hiding under his Park Avenue bed. That is the real story. Not Cuomo's selfish indulgence continuing to run.
What is so sad is NYC Republicans don't even try to be an opposition party. As a lifelong New Yorker and an American, I am terrified at what is about to unfold in the country's most important city.

Staten Island is supposed to be a heavily Republican enclave. Surprise they allow Democrats -- especially those dumb enough to vote for Mamdani -- into their midst. No doubt most of the Democrats are renters, so when their leases are up, don't let them renew!
