25. Cuomo can only do this because there is still substantial resistance to Mamdani

It happens. The genocide/defense operation in Palestine is clearly a big wedge issue.

Say what you will about Cuomo but his political instincts are spot on. It's a monetizable situation and he's going in and monetizing it for himself and his family. And in politics you never know when someone will get shaken out because of an October surprise (aka when the most potent dirt is released to be in the public's mind at voting time).

He could create an upset and have everyone in the Democratic power structure begging and bowing to get back in the family's good graces.
