    >Hochul, a Democrat, is set to announce Thursday that she will not invoke her authority under state and city law to force Adams out at this time, according to sources familiar with the governor’s decision who was not authorized to speak publicly.

    >Instead, the governor will unveil new state and city bills that would increase oversight of the mayor’s office. That includes creation of a new state deputy inspector general with broad authority to watch over the city’s dealings, the sources told Gothamist.

  2. You honestly could not ask for a more cowardly governor of a major state. The guy did a dirty deal with Trump to implement his Republican agenda in exchange for dropping corruption charges. How exactly does she think her voters will view her covering for that?

  3. New York Democrats suck. It’s the reason why Republicans control the House. They grace us with “characters” such as Cuomo and Eric Adams.

    probably to prevent mr.cum from winning. in 6 weeks if she hasnt removed him then it will look more cowardly

    Y’all need to chill. Key words are “at this time.”
    Lots could happen until then, but bet now is that when March 28 comes around she’ll remove.

    >Looming over all these machinations, meanwhile, is Andrew Cuomo. Should Adams resign before March 27, the special election to replace him would be a sprint, and even the mayor’s current rivals admit that Cuomo would have a decided advantage based on name recognition alone.

    She also dropped congestion pricing ~~forever~~ for a couple of months to nudge some House races.

  6. Politically New York is Pennsylvania in 2014, by the way, in case you’re thinking of having hope today.

  7. of course she won’t-

    if the posts here were reality the Dems wouldn’t win anything …its cool to be sanctimonious and virtuous he re on Reddit …but the real world has consequences and the consequences for her and the Dem party are way greater than the ire of the Reddit world.

    same Reddit today calling her an asshole were cheering her when she talked shit to Trump but just the day before were calling her an asshole …

  8. Exactly the problem with the Democratic Party, all summed up in one dumbass governor – do you think a republican governor would waste this much time fish-flopping about whether or not to pull the trigger? No, they’d be fire the asshole and then they’d celebrate the republican support for getting rid of him. This is why we lose everything, every time.

    The Democrats are utterly incompetent. I have no more sympathy for them. I am now of the belief that we should primary every single Democrat.
