@Ericrse37986 @aaronnarraph the campaign-level funding diff has also been evened out by the SuperPAC money.

@Ericrse37986 @aaronnarraph Valdez definitely out-raised him, mostly from out of state donors. I don't think the ground game for Claire has been much stronger though. The few events with high turnout were b/c Zohran was there. Reynoso has union support which helps.
English
The closing message of Reynoso and his super PACs has been to slander the anti-AIPAC American Priorities (the group that spent for Chris Rabb, Adam Hamawy, Randy Villegas, Nida Allam) and its Palestinian refugee donor.
If this works, it sets the progressive movement back years.

New ad from Real Fight NYC criticizes Claire Valdez for being supported by the super PAC American Priorities – and for incorrectly claiming that previous ads from Real Fight NYC were funded by AIPAC. Real Fight NYC has now spent a total of $750K on pro-Reynoso/anti-Valdez ads.

@r0berto_mid_5 Not even going to brother arguing this one, but nobody agrees with you.

sent this link without context to a few friends in #NY13 and it motivated them to get out and vote for Espaillat.
Really something to hear a candidate completely beclown themselves just from speaking at length in an adversarial environment.

I'm mostly focused on #NY07 but man is this a looney interview with Darializa. Terrible answers on housing and then it gets crazier from there. nyeditorialboard.substack.com/p/darializa-av…

@r0berto_mid_5 Props to the DSA for moving the Overton window on I/P. But if your candidates are going to run on “foreign nationals who commit violent crimes should not be deported” you are going to lose by Assad numbers. I’m sorry, that’s just the truth.
English
@r0berto_mid_5 good luck. Remember, nyc reddit was extremely pro-Mamdani. This is a vibe shift.
English
@claireforny Claire, you passed 0 bills in the assembly. You have not done anything for this district. You voted against the state budget that brought billions of dollars to the city saving us from oblivion. You are not qualified for congress. VOTE REYNOSO!
English
If you're going to start taking big real estate money, at least be honest about it.
English
@paoloredtoblue only argument they make is "buh his [fake] AIPAC donors". Their mask-off view that they want to strengthen their machine, even if worse for the district's representation is not appealing....
2m reading abt Reynoso's background vs. Valdez's - obvious that Reynoso is better
English
I do think it's interesting that Darializa is at least willing to talk about her past statements while Claire is pretty silent about why people should vote for her. Which for a "frontrunner" should not be the case, that's why I think she's been triaged off of spending.

@ZohranKMamdani @claireforny @DarializaforNY @bradlander @AberKawas @Samantha4Queens @illapaNYC @EliNorthrup @Brianr4NY I'm sorry Mr. Mayor.
Nobody wants this.

@aaronnarraph the real question is why Darializa's campaign let her do this interview in the first place.
English
The New York Editorial Board is so funny to me, because they (unsurprisingly) will grill Darializa about this, and then ask exactly 0 questions about Israel across all 3 of their NY-07 interviews, in what's probably the most pro-Palestine district in the country.
English
It's never the other way around. Pro-Israel candidates are never, ever asked about how they engage with pro-Palestine voters.
Luke Tress@luketress
NY Editorial Board asks Chevalier if she has engaged with any pro-Israel voters in the district, and the only group she mentions is the anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace
English
@EugeneVDabsAlot @StanFdr @paoloredtoblue @petersterne why don't you go ahead and answer @StanFdr's question anyway? Might as well assuage his anxiety.
English
@EugeneVDabsAlot @StanFdr @paoloredtoblue @petersterne I only have access to public information, but I'm intellectually honest enough to say that the probabilities look to me to be about 45% reynoso, 55% claire.
Claire supporters project an aura of invincibility, but then hyperventilating in the replies. It's fun to poke at.
English
This is a sign that Claire is gradually being written off. Which is an interesting sign.
Ashleyy@dontsippy
Justice democrats hasn’t done much in NY-7 which is an easy win for them.
English
.@dontsippy endorses Reynoso! Super unexpected.
Ashleyy@dontsippy
If I wanted the next AOC I would be supporting Reynoso

@EugeneVDabsAlot @paoloredtoblue @petersterne How exactly are their chances of success according to their internal takes?
English
@paoloredtoblue @petersterne obviously they stretched their coalition very thin financially and organizationally on this slate. Mamdani can only go to so many events, finite amt of Justice Dems/American Priorities money to go around, and a few hundred hardcore door knockers split btwn many races.
English
@petersterne I would agree with you normally but the fact that Claire made up a conspiracy theory about a pac supporting Antonio and the fact that people are desperate to have justice Dems spend in the district coupled with a lack of polling from her side it's a sign she's triaged.
