The funny thing is that I think they’ll actually help Mamdani claim a mandate. He hasn’t topped 50% in any polls I’ve seen — and a sub-majority performance could have been used against him.

But now, with the last-minute surge of spending against him, any plurality will look good…

My perception as an occasional non-electric Citi Biker is that NYC ebikes and scooters are more observant of lights today vs. 3/4 months ago. Am I imagining that?

Not so fast — Mamdani made his move 2-3 weeks ago on the back of really well done, positive ads that got a lot of play before the airwaves got jammed with the final push.

Not about any one tactic working or not … top to bottom, he ran a better campaign.

Not for nothing, but is the household survey really picking up “people who are homeless but work occasionally”?

The GMC “McKinley” doesn’t have the same ring to it…

The fact that she was out-earned by local supts is an indictment of the state’s absurdly atomized suburban SD landscape, not a call to action for a raise.

I considered walking through the tunnels to my office on this 19-degree morning, but then I remembered … I have a hand-knitted cap from @bethstanton.bsky.social!
