Greg Abbott’s wheelchair, and Zohran Mamdani strutted his inner leftist Trump, Dems are cranking up their "alpha energy." Even Andrew Cuomo's on Twitter beefing harder. James Carville calls map-drawing a "hamster wheel" chore while party strategists ponder how not to clown themselves trying to walk Trump’s tightrope.
