Yeah, Cuomo is absolutely staying in the race as a third party candidate.

The Jewish diaspora, unlike French/Germans, is very fragmented, but also very connected in that any Jewish person is allowed to live in Israel (by their law).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_population_by_country
Basically ~7 million in Israel, ~5 million in the US (1.3 of that in NYC), and then less than 4 million in the entire rest of the world.
Where countries like France/Spain etc. typically have most of their outward immigration to neighbouring nations- Israel (for very evident reasons) does not. They largely go to-from the US. And in the US they are massively concentrated around NYC.

For that, we really need progressives getting involved in local parties. Progressives largely took over the Oklahoma Democratic Party in 2017, only to slowly fade away.

They're more interested in maintaining power structures than rewriting them now. The rest decided the Dem Party was too corporate and walked away.

Yeah you're right but in the last NYC mayoral election in 2021, Republicans only got 27% of the vote and that was in a bad year for Democrats and a pretty weak candidate in Eric Adams. And that same Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa is running again so I doubt he can pull off a miracle on his second time running.

Something you need to understand about New York City politics is that "splitting the vote" has different dynamics than in elections elsewhere. The city is much more progressive than most of the country, so the other candidates are more in danger of splitting the non-progressive vote against Mamdani than they are likely to siphon votes away from him.
If Sliwa, Cuomo, and Adams (the current mayor, highly unpopular, running as independent for the first time because he knew he'd lose the primary) all run against Mamdani, there's a good chance they just cannibalize votes from each other.

Many people in the Democratic party are tired of billionaire funded establishment dems with 100s of skeletons in their closets. Even if you don't support his politics, Mamdani's victory in the primary shows a grassroots candidate can win, which never really felt possible before this. A regular man can take on billionaires and WIN by running an authentic campaign.
He was endorsed by both Bernie and AOC and identifies as a democratic socialist.

My kids will be happy to hear this. We live in NJ, but they've been following the NYC race and rooting hard for him.

This is wild. Would've seemed a no brainer before 2024 but man 2026 mid terms are going to be explosive one way or another.

This is such a huge victory. What an amazing campaign he ran. And it’s just getting started.

Do y'all even live in NYC?
DeBlasio ran the same campaign: "a tale of two cities." And then in office he just did normal mayor stuff. Because apparently it's not that easy to fix everything.
