my money is on Sean Patrick Maloney, NY18 to be the (D) candidate
Preet was perceived to be a standup guy because he took down Sheldon Silver (Speaker Assembly), Dean Skelos (President Senate), Malcolm Smith (President Senate). For that I give Preet credit.
I too was perplexed when DJT fired Preet - because Preet had been taking down corrupt politicians in NYS like no one had ever seen before.
However - Preet is in Chuck Schumer's camp.
