Anthony Weiner eyeing 2025 NYC mayoral bid

[Suburbia]

This is not a joke, it is serious. Former New York congressman and registered sex offender Anthony Weiner, a liberal Democrat is being asked by friends and Wall Street executives, police unions, etc. to challenge Mayor Eric Adams and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez in the June 2025 mayoral primary.

They feel Weiner could appeal to remaining white outerborough voters in Queens and Brooklyn and appeal to Latino and Asian voters, and take a sliver of Adams' base, blue collar Black men in Brooklyn and the Bronx.

“He has been encouraged to run for office by me and others … When politics is in your blood as it is in his, I don’t think you ever rule it out,” said Curtis Sliwa, who hosts “The Left Versus The Right” with Weiner on 77 WABC radio.

“To be the moderate Democrat, to be what this city needs now to take it back from AOC. He knows the moderate path to save the city.

“There’s always going to be misgivings lingering. That will never go away,” Sliwa said of Weiner’s sordid past. “He has to constantly speak out on the subject of his problems and how you can make amends for that. You can become an example. That’s the only way.”

Does anyone still think he’d be a viable candidate with the amount of baggage he now carries?

You've got to be kidding me.

What's he going to campaign on? "I'm a convicted sex offender" or "I singlehandedly got Donald Trump elected?" Which message could possibly be more compelling to New York Democrats?

Weiner is running on reducing crime and cutting municipal income and corporate taxes so those jobs don't go Upstate or hell even NJ, PA and FL.

When I first read Anthony Weiner, I thought this was a thread from circa 2011 bumped, lol.

He's not running on anything. This Post piece is fueled by like two quotes from two nobodies who said they told him to run. It won't actually happen.

Curtis Sliwa is not a nobody, his Guardian Angels patrol group is all over the world.

Ask Eliot Spitzer how his run for City Comptroller ended.

Hehe, Weiner...

One attack ad of him being a registered sex offender and he's finished.

[Property Representative of the Harold Holt Swimming Centre]

He is yet another example of normative determinism.
