    I’m a actually not that cynical of it. In her book she was critical of who the establishment in the Biden administration treated her.

    Worse case is she’s endorsing him to make her self look good. But honestly I think it’s great she did endorse him. It will go a long way with causal/centrist democrats and centerist independents.

      I’m taking the broad position that last-minute endorsements of Mamdani are just saving face for the establishment. That window closes in mid-October or so.

    In the most unenthusiastic way possible. But it’s better than an outright rejection.

      Well anyone can see that the far left will eventually turn against Mamdani just as they turn against everyone else LOL.

    I love how what would have been mundane and not news worthy with any other candidates (democratic politicians endorsing a democratic candidate for mayoral office) now makes headlines with Mamdani. And by love I mean hate.

      It’s going to be wild when he gets in and starts making decisions that are actually quite popular and seeing mainstream dems fall all over each other to claim that they were with him all along.

      The primary is over. The general election is in November.

      So far, Mamdani is out in front by a wide margin, though. I don’t want to count any chickens before they hatch, but it’d take a lot for anyone else to beat him.
