Senate Republican: ‘We’ve gotten lucky’ with Mamdani
Story by Tara Suter • 1h

The Hill's Headlines - August 19, 2025

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said Monday his party has “gotten lucky” with the Democrats’ nominee for New York City mayor, as Zohran Mamdani makes his case ahead of the November election.

“We’ve gotten lucky — bad for America, good for Republicans — with Mr. Mamdani in New York,” Kennedy told NewsNation’s Leland Vittert. “If I didn’t know better, I would think he was a Republican plant. If I didn’t know better, I’d think that Republicans had created Mr. Mamdani in a petri dish in a genomics lab.”
 
“He’s clearly from what I call the Gary Busey wing — the cray cray wing — of the Democratic Party. That’s bad for New York, but it’s certainly good for Republicans,” the Pelican State Republican added.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I certainly hope he is right. But if a pol starts saying free, free, free to people...the voters  heads get all swimmy.

 Andrew Cuomo (52%) leads socialist Zohran Mamdani (41%) by 11 points in the NYC mayoral race, according to a Tulchin poll.

Cuomo leads only if all other candidates ( Sliwa and Adams) drop out, not likely to happen.

The actual results of the Tulchin Research poll:
zombie-mammi -- 42%
cuomo -- 26%
Curtis Sliwa -- 17%
eric adams -- 9%
Jim Walden -- 3%

Looks like zombi-mammi is hitting a ceiling around 40+%.
Someone else would have to get 1 vote more than him to win (there is no run-off and ranked choice voting DOES NOT apply to the general election).

eric adams sinks down and down. The way he's going, the fringe candidate Walden could get more votes, heh.

cuomo probaby can't win -- adams' voter base (probably black) won't swing over the cuomo, nor will sliwa's voters.

Too bad cuomo won't quit.
I'm thinking his support is coming from "pragmatic thinking dems and independents" who don't like either adams or zombie-mammie.

If cuomo were to quit, those folks might actually consider Curtis as the alternative to mammi.
But I guess I'm just dreamin' ...
