Still, Mamdani’s margin of victory was fairly small—less than ten percentage points—compared to the usual whopping Democratic landslide in this particular contest.
One reason for that is a number of nationally prominent New York Democrats refused to endorse their own party’s nominee.
And now it turns out Schumer almost certainly voted for Andrew Cuomo.
Not only is Schumer disloyal to a prominent party member who won the primary fair and square, he is a terrible leader.
This is not remotely the first time that Schumer has put his own personal politics—namely, fervent Zionism (as well as a longtime reliance on Wall Street money)—above the interests of his party.
Probably the worst example of this came when Schumer attempted to derail President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, on behalf of Israel.
SCHUMER DOESN’T JUST BETRAY HIS OWN PARTY, he’s also terrible at leading it. »
