28. FFS, all he said was, "I have learned a long time ago, to let New York politics be New York politics.

We have enough challenges in New Jersey.”

Alsobrooks was running for Senate, and Booker's a Senator. It made sense to weigh into that tight race that will determine not only who will be his colleague from Maryland, but could determine the balance of power, and who will get to decide on federal nominees.

Mamdani is running for Mayor of NYC, not federal office. And Namdani Mamdani holds a double-digit lead over Cuomo. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5439256-nyc-mayoral-race-mamdani-leads/
Mamdani does not need Booker's endorsement. All Booker's endorsement would do is potentially alienate some of Booker's New Jersey constituents, who he needs to get reelected so that Democrats can protentionally take back the Senate.

Please reserve your hate for Republicans, not our own, who are just trying to make their smartest steps to beat back the dictator in the White House.
