#political-endorsements

I think that's something that's not much discussed. I hear a lot of reference to Heather Humphreys as the Fine Gael candidate, which she is, but she's also the candidate that's now backed by a number of members of the Labour Party, a number of members of the Green Party, a number of members of the Fianna Fáil party, including the Taoiseach and the former Fianna Fáil taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, many Independent TDs, Michael Healy Rae, Seán Canney, Marian Harkin, and many Independent councillors as well.

Democratic leaders love to talk about unity-until a progressive wins. Every cycle, we're told to fall in line for the good of the party. Zohran Mamdani is the nominee-and yet the establishment's silence is deafening.

Pressure is mounting from business leaders, MAGA world influencers, independents, and moderate Democrats for Mr. Sliwa to quit the race so the anti-Zohran Mamdani vote can coalesce around one candidate and have at least a shot at beating the 33-year-old Democratic Socialist state assemblyman in November.
