NRA not giving Astorino campaign money despite anger at Cuomo's NY Safe Act


Governor Cuomo is ahead of his opponent Rob Astorino in the polls by 29 points. This wide margin is what is preventing conservative groups who support him from donating a lot or any money. Governor Cuomo supports the safe act, which puts more restrictions on guns. This of course is not very popular with more conservative voters but New York is a very liberal state so the chance of Rob Astorino winning is very small. The other problem is that Astorino has not been able to raise the same amount of money as Cuomo so funding from outside groups is necessary. Therefore conservative groups like the NRA are wise not to invest money in a failed campaign. They’re money is best invested, as they are doing, in closer races where the chances of putting a candidate with their ideals in office.
