In Philly, Cheryl Parker is going to be fine. I’m not worried about it. She got played on the stadium for sure, and maybe if those SEPTA cuts happen, She could get caught up in it even though that actually won’t be her fault. But provided nothing hardly dramatic or drastic happens, I don’t see her losing the majority of the black vote. And if she has that, she’s got the city, IMO.
I wanted to read your post on this New York City election. It went by on blue sky to me and there was like a nonstop party happening, and I was really like, “what’s going on?“ because I don’t live in New York City. Then I saw your Facebook post and I was like, “what the fuck is going on?“ and then I talked to my Bestie who is Jewish who also gave me her perspective.
I do think Cuomo was a uniquely flawed candidate for all the reasons you said. That was all I knew about him and I was kind of like, “it’s not surprising he lost considering all of the scandals.” I do wish Democrats had put up somebody better. That was their race to lose. I didn’t realize all of the rest of it though.
Thank you for listening and reading. And yes - this is on the establishment - they could have elevated Adrienne Adams or even Brad Lander who I don’t love and that would have been great. This was a whole choice.
Also yes, Parker has solid approval ratings which is nice to see. I went to her campaign party when she won and it was so joyful and I have always wished her the very best because Philly is NOT easy!!!
Good piece. I detest Cuomo but I’m deeply skeptical about Mamdani. Here’s hoping for the best. 😬

Doesn’t look like I can edit comments. I meant to say *horribly dramatic and *Cherelle Parker.
