In addition to the woeful incompetence being a cornerstone of policy, the Bush Administration is getting a revival in the form of blatant and highly public Islamophobia being normalized. New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand - who was appointed in 2009 following Hilary Clinton's resignation to become Secretary of State - is taking a cue from Debra Messing and one of the House members from Long Island and going on a racist rant against Mamdami after he trounced Cuomo in the primary. Her office is now trying to claim she "misspoke", because they apparently think everyone is stupid. And yes, this is the same chick who had pushed for Al Franken to be ousted, but then endorsed sex pest Cuomo for mayor.
It looks like New York will face very tough and expensive Dem primaries from the progressives for its next two races, 2028 for Schumer and 2030 for this lady (there is no Senate election in 2026 unless one of them resigns/dies).
