They tweaked the headline but, uh, a lot of these guys aren’t actually Democrats?
After Mamdani's Win, Some Democrats Are Determined to Stop Him Though Mr. Mamdani scored a resounding victory in New York City's Democratic primary, some in his own party are strategizing about how to defeat him in November. A third independent candidate, Jim Walden, was less specific in his similarly themed proposal last week. He suggested that a poll be taken in the fall to determine who has the best chance of defeating Mr. Mamdani, a candidate whose left-leaning platform and democratic socialist affiliation have alarmed some of the Democratic establishment. Whoever doesn't win the poll, Mr. Walden said, should pledge to bow out and support the winner. Mr. Walden's proposal was backed on Monday by Mr. Cuomo as well as former Gov. David A. Paterson, a Democrat who held a news conference to announce his support alongside the Republican billionaire John Catsimatidis and Sid Rosenberg, a radio host and supporter of President Trump.
