Andrew Cuomo, the former governor of New York, is set to remain on the ballot for the New York City mayoral race despite conceding the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani. He has established contingency plans to challenge Mamdani and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in the upcoming November election. While not fully committed to an active campaign, Cuomo's strategy hinges on the assumption that the general electorate will differ significantly from the primary voters who supported Mamdani. This decision allows him to keep his position on the ballot, possibly paving the way for a political revival after his previous resignation amid harassment allegations.
Cuomo's decision to remain on the November ballot indicates a potential political comeback, despite previous sexual harassment allegations and a conceded Democratic primary.
Cuomo is banking on the larger electorate in November to support his campaign, contrasting with the energized primary voters who favored Mamdani.
