Why did Cuomo perform so well in the Bronx?

[mr715]

I'm from NYC and the nearest explanation I've heard is that Cuomo directly appealed to labor households, but I don't know if I fully believe that so simply explains the precinct level results (or borough for that matter).

Interestingly, Lander seems to have won districts on the Upper West Side of Manhattan that are also cute and curious. I wonder how voters processed this choice, and how you all think/feel/intuit/perceive?

1. Hi. I'm a born & bred NYC'r. And I live in Da Bronx about past 16 years...

I didn't rank Cuomo. A friend didn't either, I think.

FWIW, my Hispanic Rep endorsed Cuomo. 🙄

And idk either re The Bronx voting.

2. My buddy

just said name recognition amongst low information voters, but I think that is very disrespectful to da Bronx.

Isn't it odd?

5. Rather insulting....

3. Black voters

seemed to prefer Cuomo.
I do not know the reasons.

7. Biden crushed Bernie with the black vote

Simply put, socialists don't do well with African Americans.

8. If true, hopefully Mamdani will change that.

If true.

12. I can't wait to see a poll

Adams being in the race makes me wonder. Will Curtis Sliwa come in third?

4. I'm interested too,

but too far away from LIVING in The City to know.

6. Heavy black and Hispanic population

Socialists do notoriously bad with these groups.

10. Lower income ?

I'm not familiar with nyc but I know he did well among black Hispanic and lower incomes so maybe those are a higher in that area.

11. This does confirm what I thought about the Hispanic men

and some others that voted Biden but not Harris.
