Eric Adams drops out of New York City mayoral race
a year ago by return2ozma to c/politics
What a poopy doodoohead
Ambassador.
Saudi Arabia and Turkey seem to be options.
Good fucking riddance
Geez, and here I thought I was being pessimistic. Thanks for the new verb, tho!
The only problem I have with this is that he was providing some (admittedly minimal) dilution to the Cuomo opposition. Now Cuomo can market his gain as "increasing support" for his policies.
In the end I don't think it will matter, but we still are yet to hit the usual "October surprise" period so I don't like to get cocky.
Last gasp push to consolidate the Cuomo vote?
I hope Mamdani enjoys his new job.
Good, fuck that Republican.
The check cleared.
Rip bozo
Press full flush, shit be gone
Flush twice, that was a big nasty one that fouled the bowl.
Mamdani and Sliwa are the only two adults in the race.
And I’m sure you would too. But that doesn’t make either of us qualified to be New York City mayor, either.
In fact, I know well enough that I would never ever want that job. It obviously is a fucking nightmare.
So Trump is giving him Ambassador to Turkey I hear.
Or Saudi Arabia
They'd have to consolidate all other votes behind Cuomo to even have a chance, looking at the latest polling.
LoL, that's assuming the people who were going to vote for Adams are going to vote for Cuomo and not Sliwa. Adam's was saved from prosecution by Trump and had his endorsement. No liberal worth anything would have been planning yo vote for him.
I'm not saying it's likely by any means - quite the opposite. Managing to gather the voters of all those other candidates under one banner is probably not going to happen
How did he drop "out"? Did he have some in his pocket, went the get his keys, and the whole shebang just fell at once? That's rough, man
He finally tuned in and turned on.

That's funny. Every vote for Adams will be a mistake, as was always the case.
I imagine that he's currently having a cry about what stephen miller's wife's bagman has told him the regime wants him to do next.
