The DNC would rather try to split the vote and let a Republican win than allow any sort of socialist leaning person into power

In this case it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the DNC. New York allows him to continue to run despite losing the primary because he already qualified to be on the ballot.

It’s dumb, because he’s already conceded the primary, and he knows doing so is divisive, but the silver lining is that New York has ranked choice voting, at least.

And the party should make it very clear that they support zohran and that is it. Along with formally kicking him (Cuomo) out anyway.

Id like to point out that Andrew Cuomo himself is not divisive, unlike Mamdani. I thought he made that very clear in the debates? /s
