Andrew Cuomo is running for mayor as an independent after failing to secure the Democratic nomination. Despite his loss, he is moving forward with a campaign that some view as lacking purpose, other than his own personal ambition. Meanwhile, Eric Adams, the sitting mayor, has gained support from business elites and raised significant funds despite being unpopular. Cuomo's chances hinge on the potential alienation of voters by his opponent, Zohran Mamdani, though his own path to victory appears unclear, with significant voter division predicted among candidates.
Cuomo's decision to continue in the mayoral race as an independent seems driven by his own ego rather than by any feasible electoral strategy.
Eric Adams has emerged as the preferred candidate among business elites, gathering $1.5 million in campaign funds, despite his unpopularity.
Cuomo's path to victory faces substantial obstacles, with the potential anti-Mamdani vote split between multiple candidates, including Adams and Jim Walden.
The electorate's reaction to Mamdani's democratic socialist platform could potentially alienate voters, leaving some space for Cuomo among loyal constituencies.
