      This all mosly reduces down to the perception that if Harris had won, Cuomo would have been endorsed by the president and Zohran would never have been a blip in the media.

      For some, Zohran winning a primary and maintaining popular support is the worst thing because not only is it leftward policy movement, some online tankies might be feeling validation.
