please, bill ackman, we're all counting on you. get 50 to run for mayor

Cuomo won't run. Establishment dems will support Adams, who will get all the votes from the right and from center left.

@BBQDAD I'm not so sure. It's looking like the establishment dems have kind of given up, and are lining up behind Mamdani. I don't think a 2021 Buffalo mayoral election scenario is really feasible here - Adams is extremely unpopular, Mamdani is really good at messaging, Silwa is going to be splitting the "i hate commies" vote, and if they add anyone else it'll just split the vote even harder.

This is the first I have ever heard of this Zohran Mamdani, is he truly a communist (based) or is Trump merely exaggerating and he's just a slightly socially progressive neoliberal (nothingburger)?

@TheAllMemeingEye The democrats crossed a line by electing somebody? Christ

@TheAllMemeingEye he's a member of the DSA

Jim Walden?

@CraigTalbert walden campaign, i have a slogan proposal:

Eric Adams has a 20% approval rating. Over 50% want him to resign!

@nikki looks like bill ackman's all in on him, but I'm not sure that'll save him. https://nypost.com/2025/06/25/business/bill-ackman-to-back-nyc-mayor-eric-adams-reelection-bid-source/

Exclusive | Bill Ackman to back NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ reelection bid after Cuomo’s primary defeat: source

Bill Ackman is preparing to back Eric Adams' bid for reelection as New York City mayor -- and is hoping that rival candidates will drop out to bolster the current mayor's chances against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, The Post has learned.

@Marnix Ackman denied this report. Apparently he is looking into legal issues regarding someone else entering the race. https://x.com/billackman/status/1937975305643114806?s=46&t=EH8RY6pqThhG7HnB5qPjIA

hillary clinton for mayor 2025

@ChadCotty i was gonna say, it'd be really weird if his "big plan" that he "has to look into" was just a guy who was already running

There really are a lot of hilarious options for famous New Yorkers he could pick. Hillary, Bloomberg, Jay-Z, etc. Besides, all Ackman really needs is someone who can divide Zohran's supporters enough for another candidate to win.

Surprised that one of the biggest dogs in NY politics was just handed an underdog narrative, yet is only trading at 1%. The man has barely even campaigned yet. Seems to me like as big of a prediction market miss as early days of Zohran’s campaign, which was already proving to be excellent, yet Zohran was being awarded a measly 2 or so percent.

Eric Adams consorted with Trump. How on Earth is that a better pick for the establishment than Cuomo?

NY politics is unpredictable. A.O.C. won out of nowhere like Mamdani did. But the flip side is that in the last mayoral race, after the social media candidate (Andrew Yang) boasted early favorite status, the establishment came in strong for a (pre-corrupt) Eric Adams. Similar dynamics can easily repeat.

Why the fuck is Eric Adams at 20%

@YuvalJacoby very strange

This race will come down to whoever the Democratic Party establishmentdecides to go in on. I think it seems pretty clear that they've already told Adams they're not going to go in on him since he didn't even try to get into the primaries lmao

Yang Gang

Can Cuomo run as an independent?

@LyetKynes Yes, and he has already filed the paperwork to do so

@SaviorofPlant LMAO what a shame

@SaviorofPlant at this rate he may run as a Republican

@LyetKynes

@LyetKyneslevel devil

Cuomo may run as an independent candidate.
