I thought it was considerate. The average non-Jew wouldn’t think of that.
It’s well meant pandering, and he’s hardly the first to ever pander. But no. Five more minutes of Wilhelm as Mayor is eight years too many.
I guess the average non-Jew politician in NYC (or his staff) might.
As for the Mayoral term, I think it expires at midnight, New Mayor can’t exercise powers though until sworn in, I think they do it privately at midnight and the ceremony later is just for show.
