Filings list Wiener as a candidate in 2028, and since launching an exploratory committee in 2023, he’s repeatedly said he would never challenge the two-time former House speaker from San Francisco. However, if Pelosi decides not to seek another term next year — a real possibility for the 85-year-old — then Wiener could simply form a new committee for 2026 and transfer the campaign funds.
Well, that’s disappointing. The Democratic Party doesn’t need any more spineless cowards waiting their turn. If you don’t have the balls to tell an 85-year-old to retire, you don’t have the balls to stand up to fascism.
Honestly, I’m really liking how this race is shaping up. Adams is refusing to drop out because, well, he can’t; the second he loses power he stops becoming useful to the Trump administration, and then he’s vulnerable to prosecution. Cuomo is also staying in because he’s a narcissist, and Ackman is willing to throw money at anyone else who wants to run.
So that means the centrist shit-libs and conservative ghouls are splitting their vote between at least two, probably three candidates, while the progressive vote will go entirely to Mamdani. I’m still wary of DNC fuckery, but so far, so good.
