Cuomo was forced to resign in
2021 amid accusations of sex harass- ment by 13 women and heavy criti- cism that he was responsible for thou- sands of deaths by ordering COVID- 19 patients be sent to nursing homes. Betsy McCaughey, a former GOP lieutenant governor of New York, runs Save NYC, a group which is highlighting Mamdani’s failings. She believes that the key to beating Mamdani is to raise voter turnout, especially among demographics that are deeply opposed to his policies. That includes Asians — many of
whom have fl ed communism and are deeply afraid of seeing it here, and
homeowners, who are hor- rifi ed by his housing poli- cies. Asians make up 15.6% of the city’s population. It is especially impor-
tant that the three cam- paigns register homeown- ers to vote — those who live in co-ops and condos in the outer boroughs. “Mamdani got
469,000 votes in the primary. That is prob- ably close to a cap on his votes,” McCaughey said. “There are 4.7 million
active, registered voters in New York. That is the key to electing someone other than Mamdani. Mamdani wins in a low turnout election, but he will not win if turnout is 50% or more.” Nine percent of New
York City’s population — or close to a million
people — are Muslims. They are not particularly progressive, politically, but they will likely vote for Mamdani because of his religion. Mamdani’s base is young, white,
educated but not especially well-paid people, in a city where whites are now approximately 30% of the population. They are renters, not owners. Many of them are transients, who
haven’t lived in the city very long, and won’t necessarily stay if things don’t work out. A majority of Black voters sup-
ported Cuomo in the primary, as did a majority of Hispanic voters. Both groups also supported Adams.

Trump Backs Firm in Gender Case
BY VAN CHARLES T
he Trump administration is supporting a New Hampshire employer being
sued for refusing to cover treatment for an employee’s gender dysphoria. The employee, a biological male who
goes by the name of Lillian Bernier, filed a discrimination complaint in 2023 against Turbocam, a company owned by a Christian family in Barrington, New Hampshire, that makes parts for the HVAC, automotive, aviation, and space exploration industries. Bernier alleged the company refuses
to provide “gender-transition healthcare coverage” based on “her” sex, transgender status, gender identity, and disability, according to the federal lawsuit. The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights
Division said employers are not required to provide insurance coverage for gender dysphoria. They added that the company is
also covered by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which protects businesses and individuals from being forced to violate their religious beliefs. First Liberty Institute is defending
Turbocam, which it said operates its business according to the owners’ religious beliefs. “It chose an insurance plan that reflects
its religious beliefs, which includes a provision saying the company will not cover gender dysphoria treatment in its plan,” said First Liberty Institute. “Turbocam sees Lillian and all employees
as created in God’s image and is providing as much support as possible consistent with its mission, faith, and the law,” said Jordan Pratt, senior counsel at First Liberty Institute, who cited the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in the Hobby Lobby case, which found Americans do not lose their religious freedoms when they open a business. Bernier’s attorney, Chris Erchull of the
GLBTQ Legal Advocates and Defenders, said Bernier, who has two children and has worked as a machinist for Turbocam since 2019, just wants to be treated fairly. “Lillian is just asking to be treated with the same dignity, humanity, and fairness as other employees of the company,” Erchull said in a story that appeared on
Boston.com.
