Andrew Cuomo announced his independent candidacy for New York City mayor after losing the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani. Despite conceding, Cuomo stated he aims to win the general election in November. He criticized Mamdani's approach, emphasizing the low voter turnout in the primary. Political consultant Hank Sheinkopf noted Cuomo's fundraising advantage but questioned his next steps. Polls indicate Mamdani leads, with Cuomo trailing behind. Current Mayor Eric Adams has commented on Cuomo's loss, while Mamdani's campaign criticized both Cuomo and Adams for aligning with wealthy interests.
Only 13 percent of New Yorkers voted in the June primary. The general election is in November and I am in it to win. My opponent Mr. Mamdani offers slick programs, but no real solutions.
It's a reasonable compromise. He's trying to appear diplomatic. He does have the edge. Why? He raised an extraordinary amount of money for the June primary.
