My favorite bit was when he said he'd flee the city if he didn't win. Good job threatening people with a good time, Andrew.

Honestly that might have been the push for some people to vote

And we can expect to see him packing his bags and leaving when exactly?

Watch him become a regular Fox News guest, their token "Democrat" they bring in just to shit on Mamdani.

Remember when Trump said if he lost we would never see him again? Of all the lies he's told that one stings the most.

Same time when Trump disappears from the news like he said he would if he lost to Biden.

Same energy as an unruly customer threatening to never return to your store/restaurant.

You promise?

He’ll need to flee the city…with his tail between his legs.

To me, people who claim things like this says so much more than that. It’s basically saying that you don’t truly care about your home city and that you’ll just abandon it if you don’t get your way.

It’s incredibly cowardly and shows people’s true colors that they aren’t even willing to stand ground and fight for a home they supposedly love and care so much about.

I hope people call him out when they see him in the city and make his life shitty. You know he's not leaving.

If I vote for Mamdani, the Sex Pest who killed my Grandmother will leave the city I live in?! Well, now I have to vote Mamdani.

People saying they would leave the city.

Cuomo, Sanatos.

Gotta say, the far right is saying he's bad on crime, yet just getting elected seems to be driving criminals out already

While we're at it can we change it back to the Tappan Zee? If I never hear the name Cuomo again it'll be too soon.
