Andrew Cuomo is flailing. Most assumed that his crushing loss to Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary to be mayor of New York City would see him depart from the political scene. But, in an indication that he suffers from a humiliation fetish, Cuomo oon re-entered the race as an independent candidate.
Since then, both Mamdani and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa have been kicking him around like a football. Mamdani and Sliwa have practically nothing in common politically, but have found common ground in their mutual dislike of Cuomo and all he represents.
