Andrew Cuomo's refusal to drop out of the NYC mayoral race is ensuring a socialist victory. Zohran Mamdani—a Democratic Socialist who questions Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state—is winning with 46% because the anti-socialist vote is split three ways between Mamdani, Cuomo (33%), and Republican Curtis Sliwa (15%).
In this episode, John O'Connor examines Mamdani's radical platform, Cuomo's scandalous past (sexual harassment of 13 women, 15,000 nursing home deaths he covered up), and why the legitimate Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa refuses to cave to pressure to drop out.
The math is clear: if Cuomo dropped out, his moderate Democrat and independent voters could unite behind Sliwa and stop the socialist. Instead, Cuomo's ego is driving this three-way split that guarantees Mamdani becomes mayor of America's largest city.
With 12 days until Election Day and early voting starting October 25th, this episode makes the case for why Cuomo must be the one to step aside—and what's at stake for New York's Jewish community, the national Democratic Party, and cities across America if socialism wins in NYC.
