If Cuomo becomes mayor, there is a fair chance he runs for president in 2028. Even if he doesn't, his victory will be seen as a sign that Dems prefer experienced moderates to younger progressives. As @lauranahmias.bsky.social writes: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Trump's narrowest issue margin is on immigration, where 52% of New Yorkers surveyed said they disapproved of his handling of the issue, but 46% said they approved, including 27% of Democrats, 81% of Republicans and 52% of Independents

Majorities of New Yorkers disapprove of the job Trump is doing as president. They disapprove of his handling of; Trade 59%-37%, inflation 59-38, the U.S.'s global reputation, 58-39 and the economy 58-40

Interesting footnote, from COIB: "This settlement brings to a successful conclusion the first ever enforcement action brought by the Board against a Mayor of the City of New York."

De Blasio has already paid $100,000 of the fine. He filed suit challenging the Board's decision back in 2023, but the petition was dismissed this year and de Blasio appealed. In the settlement announced today, de Blasio "agreed to withdraw his appeal" and said he "deeply regrets his conduct."

Asked to comment on Cuomo's plan to possibly run as an independent on a third party line if he loses the Democratic primary, Adams again suggests Cuomo is copying him and his heart isn't in the race. "It seems like he's just going through the motions," Adams says, chuckling to himself. "Is it me?"
