“Overperformance” is an interesting editorial choice

Overperformance compared to polls and the money stacked against him. He's not just won the primary*, but won it big. Few polls had him winning. Even the polls that had him winning overall had him losing the first round of ranked choice by a fair margin. He's just won the 1st round by like 7%

(for reference about the money)

* technically the final rounds of ranked choice aren't yet tabulated, but it is exceedingly unlikely he given that the person in #3 is a progressive who told his supporters to rank Zohran #2. Cuomo has already conceded

Over performance, as a phrase, indicates someone exceeding their capabilities.

Zohran rather, exceeded expectations.

How much money you have is about capabilities, no?

No

But be prepared to have your Internet history used against you if you ruffle feathers.

Well, it certainly looks like a diagram of the opposite of underperformance. 🤷🏼‍♂️
