In the general election, Mr. Cuomo finds himself stretched by trying to avoid losing liberal Democratic voters while also convincing Republicans that he’d represent them better than Curtis Sliwa, 71, the GOP nominee.

Mr. Ciattarelli’s biggest challenge may be convincing voters that he can get anything done.

“A response to threats, to put it mildly, will be very convincing.”
