General Discussion

The only time I remember any potential friction happening, at least in my county, was the 2018 gubernatorial election. Cuomo won the primary and was the Democratic candidate. WFP did consider putting Cynthia Nixon on the WFP general election ballot line but in the end they placed Cuomo on the WFP line to avoid chaos and harm to the Democratic candidate.

Mamdani is being criticized, often unfairly, by many, for many reasons, but I think he is quite sincere in building bridges and coalitions and is committed to listening to and working with all Democrats. I'm certain the WFP did a lot of the ground work for him in NYC and helped him win his mayoral election and he probably wanted to show his appreciation for their efforts by voting on their line.
