Do Tom Carper and Mazie Hirono have primary challengers yet?

Not that I know of, doubt Gabbard would run against Hirono.

Gabbard is just as bad as Hirono.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Hirono is quite good but IIRC Carper got a challenger a while back.

No

Andrew Cuomo is a crook.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

There has to be something that we're missing here. Maybe Cuomo's team sees one or more genuinely monumental weak spots in the data that have not yet become apparent to the rest of us.

I can't see any other reason why an incumbent who is ahead 2:1 on paper is behaving in such a maniacal way.

I guess another explanation could be that he literally is a maniac.

New York state politics seems weird as f**k. Very entertaining.

New York's politics would be about as infuriating as Illinois' or New Jersey's if not for the fact that third parties only need to get 50,000 votes in a gubernatorial election to qualify for ballot access everywhere. This means that every few elections, someone will astroturf a new party or activists will start a new one, and after the election, it will be taken over by opportunists who do what they want with it.

Does anyone remember the STOP COMMON CORE Party?

Remember when in 2010, New York had the lowest turnout of every state despite also having both Senate Seats AND the gubernatorial mansion up for election that year.

With the way things are going, I think New York needs a gubernatorial election with RCV way more than Maine does right now

How would that work with Fusion Ticket Voting though?

Miner's incompetence during all this doesn't exactly give me confidence that she could've defeated Katko.

This kinda reminds me of NE-02, when there were 17 threads on how the Dems had messed up, when, looking back, Ashford was a bad candidate who lost in 2016, when the district went +2Trump.

Balter is fine, its just that Kalto, is, well, Kalto.

There were polls showing Ashford leading by large margins in a 2018 rematch.
