Curious what your thoughts are on the future of Alvin Bragg. Obviously DA are rarely primaried especially the Manhattan DA and Bragg's successful conviction of Trump in a jurisdiction that doesn't particular like Trump would seem to be big factors in discouraging any primary challenge. Bragg also has a huge campaign war chest for a typical DA(much of it raised post Trump conviction) On the other hand the same Eric Adams/Tali Farhadian Weinstein voting electorate is still out there and I am not sure they like Bragg any more today than did when he was first elected(Although Eric Adams' own legal issues are not probably causing this group of people to think more highly of Adams).

My own view is another self funded challenge by Tali Farhadian Weinstein would look really bad and given her ties to the hedge industry might give off vibes of being some type of payback from Trump supporting hedge funders like Bill Ackman. Anyways curious if anyone has any thoughts on this.
