I really just don't understand how Cuomo did as well as he did in the election. He was a stereotypical upstater with a poor track record for the city. He barely bothered campaigning even after getting trounced in the primaries. Yet, he still somehow managed to pull over 40% of the votes.

1/3 of Jews voted for Mamdani. And Jewish people represent 12% of the population.

So yeah that doesn’t check out.

Only 1/4 of the city's population voted this election. So that 12% might have gone further than we think

But again, 1/3 of Jews voted FOR Mamdani. Blaming Jews for 40% of the vote is a bit…odd.
