Well leading up to the election they surely had indicated their pick was Cuomo. I’m not sure if this is about policy as much as the leadership assumes brand recognition from a previously electable candidate is more important than anything else.

In the aftermath the only concrete information was the two representatives that said they still didn’t like him. There’s reports of some rich dudes thinking about throwing money behind Cuomo or even Adams, but I didn’t see concrete outcomes on that.

It’s clear they wanted a different outcome, but I’m not so sure I’m seeing this “party melting down” people are declaring. I’ll agree when significant Democrats continue to undermine and go so far as to try to make Cuomo happen despite the results, but for now I’ll reserve judgement.
