Fact that they’re so scared of him tells me he’s doing something right.

I wonder if these public statements are meant to persuade Mamdani voters to switch to Cuomo as a "lesser evil" from this chaos. IMO the less attention we give these threats, the better. Congress isn't even in session right now, and should they reconvene; swearing in Adelita Grijalva and voting on the Epstein files are going to be the main points of contention.
Logic agrees with you, reality may not. They’ll focus on mamdani and try to spin another story why adelita cannot be sworn in.
Only time will tell, but I don't think this story should be spread until the Election closes tomorrow. I don't want to risk scaring Mamdani voters to vote for Cuomo to appease these terrorist Republicans.
If they just say "no", there will be some serious protests.
It would probably be enough of an excuse for the insurrection act.
Though I think that Wall Street being located in NY protects the city from some of Trump's worst impulses.
You don't want to disturb the traders.
Election melding right out in the open. Sure to piss off more than a few people, to say the least.
It'll only piss off the "right people"
Congress has to meet, and they already said it won't until sometime in January. Within minutes of opening the session Johnson will be challenged for the speaker position and the house will devolve into chaos for another few weeks. It won't be until February before they are able to take any action about anything.
You're pretending anyone would hold them accountable....
Cuomo is working with trump, like literally, trump and other Republicans are advising Cuomo, that's why he keeps running all their racist ads.
The NY Gov is still his old Lt Governor who took his post when he stepped down.
There's a non-zero chance republicans and neoliberal unite to steal an election Mamdani wins.
We've got a good DNC, but some of the state parties still suck. nY is one of the worst, because all the money from Wall Street.
Don't forget trump was a NYC neoliberal for decades, even had the Clintons at his wedding. We can't count on them even to stay out of it.

Sounds like HR have too much time on their hands and should mind their own business.
I’m sure they will just break any and all laws to get their way. I hope every last one ends up in prison for life.
a prison of privilege?

I’m guessing they don’t see the irony of this strategy…
They see it, but don't care. They're in control, and are going to do every fucking absurd thing they can do to keep it since they have the Supreme Court rubber-stamping everything for them. It's an all or nothing bet on maintaining power. They're not that stupid, they're just cravenly doing everything they can while they can to solidify their power.
I'll just keep posting this quote on the topic.
'If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy."
Righttt, that's the right thing to do! Democracy be damned!
Scum. Why are they even thinking about meddling at all?
A practice run, to refine their strategy to declare "election I don't agree with* into insurrection. If it can work, get ready for it to get rolled out like crazy in 2026.
Because it's the New York Young Republican Club? It's not any actual politicians calling for this. It's a bunch of incel trolls jerking themselves off to videos of Andrew Tate and having wet dreams about how fucking funny it is for America to do a fascism.
Because they've abandoned any pretense of good faith participation in Democracy and only care about holding power.
it was up to Congress to enforcement the amendment...
I get that words are hard but come on.
If 5 years of a trump presidency has taught me anything, we will find out they are detonating nukes in the next three weeks. Trump will say they always planned on detonating nukes. The folks saying he's not right now will say it's what he obviously planned all along once he does.
I'm tired of predictable gaslighting. At least with my ex it came with skinny dipping and oral sex.
If anyone starts feeling like getting inspired and trying to run locally as well, my advice is always free.
Something about interfering with elections
To do that (assuming rules mean anything to Republicans) they will have to swear Grijalva in as Congresswoman, and the Epstein files would be set for release so who knows if they will.

The Democrats will work with Republicans to rig it against Mamdani
Just as they did against Bernie Sanders back to back
