The New York City mayor election is a year away….
The current mayor has staff members dropping like flies with the Fed’s all in their business…
Two well known names are being mentiuoned in the media as possibly seeking to run….
Ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo…..
NY Attorney General Tish James…..
Another name has come up in a recent NY Post poll….
Former Republican Mayor Mike Bloomberg (He’s actually a Democrat)
It may be Bloom season again.
Almost half of New Yorkers say they want former Mayor Mike Bloomberg to run again if embattled Hizzoner Eric Adams is booted or resigns, according to a poll released Thursday.
But sorry Blas: a whopping 54% said they wouldn’t want to see former Mayor Mayor Bill de Blasio to try for a comeback, the new Morning Consult poll found.
Some 48% of respondents said 82-year-old billionaire Bloomberg should step into a special election if Adams leaves his seat as mayor after a federal indictment and a leadership scramble in City Hall.
Another 33% said they would be opposed to a return from the three-term mayor.
Also receiving strong support for a mayoral run was ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is rumored to be eying a return to politics after he resigned in 2021 amid sexual harassment claims that he continues to deny.
The poll found 42% of respondents would like to see Cuomo run, while 41% said they would be opposed to him throwing his hat in the ring.
About 40% of adults would support state Attorney General Letitia James to run, according to the survey.
That included 54% of Democrats, which was more support from her party than any other candidate.
Adams is on the rocks, with twice as many respondents, 58%, disapproving his job performance as opposed to 29% who approve, the poll said….
Note….
Mike Bloomberg IS 82 years old and REALLY Rich….

Oh hell, let’m have another crack at it. Better than Adams and especially Cuomo. By New York Democrats’ standards, Bloomin’ Onion is quite Liberal.
