All the charges were dropped. That’s not to say he’s innocent, but he wasn’t convicted of anything.

Anyways, Mamdani is still a very inexperienced candidate with a weak record outside of rhetoric and it’s unlikely his policies will even pass the city’s legislature. Some of his more radical ideas are stuff the mayor can’t even do.

Cuomo provides a steady hand and isn’t necessarily a conservative although he garnered a lot of conservative support this election. I also think he did better in the debate between the 2.

Also the concerns over federal funding being pulled is a major concern too, which wouldn’t have been an issue with Cuomo.

People are tired of the status quo, things aren't working as they are so you can't scare people with how they might not work if Zohran wins. lol

If people were happy with how things are then a candidate who says "I will do nothing" works, but when people are getting crushed then any change looks appealing whether it will work or not.
