I wish that were true. Im old enough to remember how a lot of these elections have played out in the past. You can never be too sure about the voting public. Sliwa is, of course, a non-starter. BUT, Cuomo has name recognition and the average voter doesnt turn out in the primary - they wait for the main event and the people who wait are also less informed and less plugged into politics. Yes, Mamdani blew Cuomo away in the primary but the voters in primaries are a different clade than those that show up for the general. Im just saying, it is not a gimme. Remember, Hillary Clinnton was basically an 80% lock for the 2016 election and here we are.
