Stack flexes political muscle in North Bergen as 2027 mayoral race approaches

State Sen. Brian P. Stack (D-Union City), the Pied Piper of voter turnout in North Hudson, sent four campaign mailers into North Bergen last month to help re-elect County Commissioner Robert Baselice, a Democrat who was running unopposed. But Stack wasn’t particularly concerned about Baselice winning. He was laying the...

Inside political circles, AOC’s aloof style becomes a factor

LEFT GUARD: The battle to own the progressive lane in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is already brewing, with allies of Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California Rep. Ro Khanna launching recruitment efforts seeking to nudge them both into the race. The rival efforts are laying bare the aloof, tight-lipped way AOC’s political team operates behind the scenes as she continues to weigh whether to run for president or Senate. And the recruitment bids are also showing the central role of New York in the early days of the 2028 race. Last week, former NYC-DSA-endorsed Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Democratic strategist Nomiki Konst, two longtime operatives in New York politics, launched “Run Ro,” a new outside group aiming to push Khanna to run for president. And on Monday, progressives including Ravi Sahai, a former 2025 campaign staffer for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, launched “Ready for AOC.” New York City Democratic Socialists of America co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser are also behind the pro-AOC effort, two people familiar with the matter said. The move from Bowman and Konst to get behind Khanna — instead of their fellow New Yorker — has bewildered some in the state’s left-leaning political ecosystem. “It’s weird,”

NYC wacko who allegedly bashed Central Park artist to death found not fit for trial

The stick-wielding man who allegedly admitted to fatally bludgeoning a beloved Central Park artist with a stick was found not fit to stand trial, a Manhattan judge revealed Tuesday. Jonathan Robles, 36, was set to be arraigned in Manhattan Supreme Court on murder charges for the Sept. 27 Central Park killing of Lee Rogers , a 63-year-old painter, before the madman’s attorney jumped in and said that he failed his mental health evaluation. Defendant Jonathan Robles is seen for the first time since being indicted with murder. Steven Hirsch for NY Post “I’m objecting to my client from being arraigned — he’s not fit,” attorney Mitchell Schuman told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Althea Drysdale just before the scheduled arraignment. The mental health exam — also known as a 730 exam — was ordered by a criminal court judge at his initial arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court in October. Prosecutors revealed that Robles’ exam results were only returned Monday, and asked the judge for a three-week adjournment for them to “digest” the findings to figure out how they will proceed.

NYC real estate broker interrupts car-jacking outside luxury brownstone — but it’s Manhattan gridlock that foils theft

A top New York City real estate broker interrupted a trio of baby-faced bandits stealing his client’s Mercedes outside a luxury brownstone — but it was Manhattan gridlock that ended up foiling the would-be carjackers, The Post has learned. Andrew Azoulay, a luxury broker at Douglas Elliman, said he was moving his client’s Mercedes G-Wagon around 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 5, when he jogged across the street to lock the front door of the client’s ritzy TriBeCa townhouse. He’d left the car unlocked for all of 30 seconds — but when he turned around, he saw the taillights were on, and realized his client’s $250,000 SUV was getting jacked. The teen suspected of trying to steal a Mercedes G-Wagon sprinted off after the real estate agents chased him. Courtesy Andrew Azoulay “I was like, what the f–k? How could the car be moving?” Azoulay told The Post on Monday. “It did not feel good.” Security footage from across the street caught it all go down — with Azoulay and his assistant seen sprinting after the car and hammering on the windows, before it tore off down the street and left them in the dust.

Mamdani meets with union bigwig – as he searches for lefty 2028 candidates

Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with the head honcho of the powerful United Auto Workers union Wednesday as part of a series of sit-down meetings with labor leaders over fielding a lefty 2028 presidential candidate. Hizzoner’s evening sit-down at Gracie Mansion with UAW leader Shawn Fain is just the mayor’s latest meeting with labor bosses while Mamdani’s fellow Democratic Socialists of America member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mulls over whether she will run for the White House. Mamdani has held closed-door meetings in recent weeks discussing potential candidates while privately expressing doubt over whether socialist darling AOC will ultimately run for president in 2028. Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, will meet with the mayor at Gracie Mansion later today as part of his latest talks with lefty labor figures about fielding a 2028 presidential candidate.
