FROM FOX NEWS: The New York Daily News endorsed independent candidate Andrew Cuomo for New York City mayor on Sunday, warning that Democrat Zohran Mamdani has proven to be a “callow and mealy-mouthed” hack.
The New York Daily News Editorial Board wrote:
“Zohran Mamdani’s dithering performance in the final mayoral debate pointed up the ongoing problem with his campaign.”
“It’s a house of cards built on sound bites and laced with antisemitism,” it continued. “But he stumbles and dodges when asked to venture beyond his surface-level focus on affordability and his four, and only four, narrow planks: child care, buses, rent, and grocery stores. It is not only naïve and maddening, but dangerous for a future mayor and points up how unfit he is for the office.”
“But governing is, in the end, about doing and Mamdani has proven himself as callow and mealy-mouthed as any grizzled hack in skirting questions that put him on the spot or actually force him to explain how he might execute on his game plan,” the board said.
“While Andrew Cuomo has plenty of well-documented flaws, including those that drove him from the governor’s mansion in 2021, a decade as governor proves that he is a competent executive and could well do the job of running the city government,” it added.
