Plurality wins. So now that the two "Anybody but Mamdani" candidates have consolidated to a single candidate, where is Cuomo going to get the other 14% he needs? The Republican only gets 15%. Does anybody think that 98% of the Republican voters are going to swing to Cuomo?

Does anybody think people are going to be more enthusiastic about voting for Cuomo than Mamdani's voters?

Does anybody think Mamdani is going to lose his support in the last 27 days? How is that going to happen? By running a bunch of ads saying Mamdani is a commie? They have already tried that.
