A Republican endorsement is the sign of a true Democrat 😉

The last Democrat endorsed by a Republican lost the presidential election.

President Donald Trump on Monday endorsed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a lifelong Democrat running as an independent, in New York City's mayoral election.

The president urged voters not to cast a ballot Tuesday for Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, saying it would be “a vote for [Zohran] Mamdani.”

“Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

trump supporting Cuomo over a racist Republican should make it clear that no silver spoon neoliberal is on our side.

They're working with republicans against the people, always have and always will.

Unless... We really have no choice. Perhaps they are signaling that Cuomo will be installed whoever wins the election. That Mamdani will be "removed" - by ICE or other means.

The current governor is Cuomo's old LT Gov who took the spot when he resigned...

trump can't stop Mamdani, but between the Gov being Coumo's buddy and the NY state Dem party being one of the worst in the country...

There's a non-zero chance Mamdani wins and they try to just hand it to Cuomo on some bullshit.

I think it would take some exceptional political gymnastics for Hochul to have personally campaigned with him and then justify how his election must be annulled. She'll just refuse all his plans that need state approval. The state has a lot of power to just try to make him fail in order to teach the people that only neoliberals can be trusted to lead.

Direct Federal fuckery is more likely.

If you really wanted to do something about Mamdani winning NYC Mayor, wouldn't you do it way before the day before the election? Or is that just crazy talk?
