BREAKING: Andrew Cuomo Defeats Challenger Cynthia Nixon

Surprise, surprise. And by that I mean, no surprise.

The results are in. Andrew Cuomo has defeated his challenger, Cynthia Nixon in New York’s Democratic gubernatorial primary race. It’s a shame, ’cause she totally had T.I.’s vote, even though he had no idea who she was. Like, he was even considering inviting her to his next family BBQ!

I have no idea who this brilliant lady is…But she’s invited to my next bbq/family gathering and if she’s running for anything…ANYTHING I SAY..She’s got my vote!!!Right on to the Righteous Decent White People out there,using their privilege to make a difference!!!#USorELSE✊🏽 pic.twitter.com/lZkV7K1cIe

New York. Gov. Andrew Cuomo will win the Democratic nomination for a third-term on Thursday night, CNN projects, easily defeating a challenge from his left by progressive activist and actress Cynthia Nixon.

The Empire State primary marked the final opportunity this year for left-wing insurgents to unseat powerful Democratic incumbents. But Cuomo, a battle-tested campaigner with deep pockets, consolidated establishment support in the spring and spent the summer blitzing the airwaves, spending more than $8 million over three weeks late in the contest to head off any momentum growing around Nixon’s insurgent bid.

They’re both horrible, so this really doesn’t make a difference in my book. New York is still screwed.
