Primarily New York: WFP Results & NYC Comptroller
Bill Lipton, New York State director of the Working Families Party, and Maurice Mitchell, Working Families Party national director, review the results of the New York primary and look ahead to November. Then New York City comptroller Scott Stringer reviews the results of the primary and talks about his recent reports.
Could Cynthia Nixon and Jumaane Williams remain on WFP party line?@BillLipton: Decision not made.
Did Nixon endorse Cuomo and will she campaign for him?@BillLipton: That's not what I heard. Big contest in NY not bt Ds & Rs; it's between progressive left & establishment.
.@ciphersankofa: Cuomo was spending $1/2 million a day near end. We routed the IDC. Grassroots organizers brought our candidates to victory. "Transactional politics in NYS might be completely dead."

We have to come together. Plus, "Governor Cuomo can legitimately point to success as a progressive." pic.twitter.com/b84jtUozu2
