The fact that the Queens Borough President had to go through a recount to defeat a political nobody is very significant. AOC’s proving to be a political wunderkind of sorts, at least in NYC.
True, I have to begrudgingly give her that. Another “nobody” almost took down the establishment candidate.
Yeah...while I like the Dem’s infighting, the recount business allowing a favored pol to just squeak in is still a problem. What will be more interesting if Katz comes up against a determined Pubbie or an independent NY workers party candidate if she will then have to do some serious booty kissing of Caban and her supporters to keep her support. The Latinos have been signaling that they are not all monolithic in their thinking and some of them are very far left but they will vote pragmatically for their own interests. A strong socialist candidate with Caban’s backing could still take it away from Katz in the general.
AOC's candidate Caban got 34K votes in a borough of 2.4 million people.
The only significance is that AOC can organize enough people to have her candidate lose closely in an extremely low turnout primary..
