Okay but who are you referring to by "pro biz democrats in NY are losing traction"; the NYC mayor election, Hochul retaining governor, Stefanik's ambitions for 2028/32, or else who? It seems the wrong take to read Mamdani's broad-based support as ideological; it was the combination of an affordability crisis plus an awful opponent who should have been replaced (plus a spoiler third candidate). Kind of like a localized 2025 update of "it's the [city] economy, stupid".
