    Definitely not over. Assuming he wins the election, I would anticipate a lot of sabotage stemming from establishment politicians and public servants. If they can’t win this election, they’ll want to make his term as mayor as discordant and ineffectual as possible, to make it easier for a more conservative/establishment candidate to win the next one.

        Progress is still something to celebrate. Without the first step, the others cant follow

          But maybe not before the metaphorical battle is even won, much less the war. He still needs to win the actual election, and then assuming that happens, it’s going to require constant effort to try to overcome all of the resistance in the way of actually doing the job.

          Not saying folks can’t be happy that he’s in the running over known sex pest Cuomo, but I just think it’s premature to celebrate when there is still so much work to be done.
