Democratic primary at odds choose the Mayor's Office of New York
To the primaries to the Mayor's Office of New York, which conclude on Tuesday, 13 Democratic candidates and two Republicans concur.From them there will be the one that will with great probability will be elected mayor in November, in a elections in which Wall Street has actively urged its employees and investors to participate.Economic recovery is at stake after the pandemic, when the city presents a unemployment rate that doubles the national average (10.9%compared to 5.8%), although districts such as Bronx are around 15%.That is why the economy, together with the rebound of armed violence, has monopolized the campaign.
Given the irrelevance of the Republicans in a Democratic city to the core - there are 500,000 registered republican voters, compared to three million Democrats - the name of the future councilor will leave among the eight democrats with more possibilities, so disparate each other what it costs to findA common partisan denominator.That is why New York is also, in some way, a test bank for the future for the Democratic Party.
