Cuban-born Joseph Hernandez enters NYC mayoral race seeking to upset Mamdani

If tweet fails to load, click here. He’s the anti-Mamdani.
A Cuban-born biotech entrepreneur decided to make a longshot bid for NYC mayor because he loathes the radical left-wing ideas pushed by socialist frontrunner Zohran Mamdani — and saw just how dangerous they are in real life, he told The Post.
“I was raised in a socialist communist society, so I am the antithesis of Zohran Mamdani’s ideology,” declared Joseph Hernandez.
“In fact, he’s a motivator for me to fight in this race. I despise socialism. I am a believer in the American dream. I’m a believer in capitalism. It’s not perfect, but it’s lifted more people out of poverty than any other ideology,” he said.

Hernandez dismissed the notion his run for mayor would split votes between those seeking an alternative to the current frontrunner, socialist Zohran Mamdani

Hernandez — a 52-year-old Upper East Side resident who immigrated to the U.S. at the age of seven with his family to escape Fidel Castro’s communist rule — entered the race as an independent just over a month ago after collecting enough signatures to get on the November ballot.

This exactly. Capitalism is responsible for everything the world enjoys from air conditioning to airline travel to smart phones to high yield grain seeds.

Stupid, just guarantees a Mandani win.
Unless 2/3 of the current group drops out and falls in line behind Cuomo or Adams, Mandana walks into City Hall

Maybe on paper but the current crop of alternatives to Mandani are horrible.
I don't know much about this guy but if he shows he is a real alternative and gets some backing, he has a chance to at least prevent a Mandani 50%+1 win and force a runoff.
Mandani will be weak in a runoff.

I wonder if this is the guy the people who actually run that city, the money men, are deciding to go behind to send Mamdani back to Uganda? Cuomo and Adam’s were basically non starters.
This guy seems to check a lot of the boxes but with an almost explicitly tailored message to be the anti Mamdani on economics and a proud American.

You answered your own question.

Does NYC have a run off if no one gets the majority? Because if not, this isn’t going to help matters. Not that I don’t love what this guy stands for

The most pro-American immigrants are always the ones who escaped a tyrannical government to come here. They know what it is like to live under a dictator, so they see how many opportunities America presents.

and freedom.
ask the U.S. Marines that are in the NE gate tower with big eyes watching Havana, what people will do to escape communism. it is duty that is the equivalent to the front line hot spot.
there is what is called no mans land-between Havana, Cuba communism and the NE Gate of Guantanamo NAS base. I have been in the tower and despise communism as the oppressed.
they watch women carrying newborns run across the minefield blow up trying to reach GTMO NE Gate for freedom.
this man running, Joseph Hernandez- knows that socialism enters Communism and it is diabolical.

Progressives HATE immigrants like this one.
Came here, worked hard, loves America, and does not want America to turn into where he came from.
Progressives will want his family doxxed and harassed by tomorrow.

El objetivo del socialismo es el comunismo, el comunismo es malo.

Exactly. I am hoping the Cuomo's step aside and let this man take the communist on one on one.
But I can see the establishment in DC liking the communist.

At least one of the powerful DC engines is backing him.
