Andrew Cuomo concedes to Zohran Mamdani in NYC mayoral primary

5. You might be right

If Cuomo runs on an independent line, the general election might be Adams (independent), Cuomo, Mamdani and Sliwah. Although more complicated with 2 independents, this reminds me of Joe Lieberman losing the primary to Lamont then running as an independent. The Republicans had a very weak candidate and Lieberman got much of the Republican vote along with some Democrats.

Here the Republican is a perennial loser. That means we may have the vote split mostly between the three of them. This would be a general election . Obviously Republicans are unlikely to vote for a Democratic socialist. I honestly could see anyone of the three winning ... especially given the baggage of both Adams and Cuomo.
