Yeees, let's go, Queeeen Kathy!
I think incumbency, strong fundraising numbers and the fact that all other (current and potential) candidates are from Downstate give Hochul a major advantage. However, she should absolutely not take anything for granted. Most primary voters will only pay attention in the weeks before the election. It's still hard to understand for me why James entered this race in the first place rather than seeking reelection to her current post, in which she would have been totally safe. I would have understood to challenge Cuomo, if he refused to leave office, but not in our timeline.
If De Blasio actually runs and finishes way behind Williams it would beyond pathetic for a New York City mayor. Maybe he drops out before? Suozzi probably doesn't run, especially after reports Eric Adams may appoint him Deputy Mayor.
Too bad they didn't test the general election as well. The last general election poll is from February, only conducted with Cuomo and AOC as candidates.
