I don't agree with all of Yang's policies, but I'll definitely be rooting for him here.

I feel that Stringer is the front runner but Yang is a well-known candidate with a solid chance

Aaaaaaaaand he's officially in (leaked filming an announcement commercial). Has been teasing a lot of tweets regarding NYC as well.

Endorsed and I'll be gladly donating/volunteering for him.

I enthusiastically endorse Yang. NYC seems like just the right place for him. I may live in NYC next year, and I'd rank Maya Wiley second, Dianne Morales third, and Scott Stringer in a distant fourth. Never Adams and McGuire.

Any curiosity who wins the Republican primary? I'd say Silwa of the declared though him as the nominee sounds like a total clown show.

Will have to see how he campaigns and fleshes out his policy platform but think he's middle of the pack for me right now, certainly above Adams, Rose, and McGuire.

I see Rudy Giuliani's son along with Trump Jr and Ivanka Trump (and Trump himself though I highly doubt he runs). Of those I'd say Trump Jr probably gets the nomination but there's no way he wins the general so it may not even be worth a shot for him.

I would still prefer Dianne Morales but Yang is an interesting candidate. I wonder how he would handle the job given that he has no governing experience and seems to be a lot more about platitudes than confronting the realities of certain aspects of politics.

Can Yang handle Pat Lynch and the NYPD? That's the biggest question. NYC's next mayor will be dealing with a major population loss, budget deficit, lack of jobs, crime and Cuomo and suburbanites balking at his neck.

Sliwa probably wins the GOP nomination, he wins Staten Island and can make Queens competitive. But most of the Koch-Giuliani-Bloomberg voters are gone or moved to LI or the South.

Some of them voted for DeSantis in FL and Kemp in GA and so on.

I will go to my grave defending Bill De Blasio and David Dinkins. Also John Lindsay and Fiorello La Guardia were great.

Very odd of him to jump in and jump out.

Maybe he thinks redistricting gives him a route back to congress?

From what I hear he doesn't want to go back.

I think a more likely explanation for Rose’s departure is that he likely figured that his chances of winning the primary were not that good, since there are other candidates in the mix who are to the left of him on various hot-button issues.

Isn't it basically a guarantee at this point, with the state losing 1 or 2 seats (likely the latter)? Won't it have to expand into Brooklyn?

Rose out-



Maybe Rose runs for something like Brooklyn Borough President, or a State Senate or Assembly seat.

Not a chance he wins Boro president and state legislative office would be a downgrade, his ego is too gigantic for that.

I like his outerborough moderate appeal; he should seek a rematch in 2022 or run for governor or something
