Hoping to save his NYC mayoral bid, Andrew Cuomo is trying a little bit of everything

"He's going on Fox Business in the morning and MSNBC at night with a stop on ABC's The View added in. He's appealing to real-estate leaders who backed him against Mamdani in the Democratic primary he lost while appearing Tuesday night at a fundraiser hosted by a Republican developer. His aides are ramping up his social media content, posting a video featuring an AI-generated Cuomo doing jobs the real Cuomo says he couldn't do."

"Mamdani remains the favorite to win November's general election, well ahead of Cuomo in the most recent public polling. Eric Adams' decision to end his reelection bid was seen as a boost to Cuomo, though the mayor was running fourth in most polls and did not endorse the former governor whom Adams called a liar and a snake days earlier. Sliwa, running third, insists nothing will stop him from finishing his campaign."

"While Cuomo's message against Mamdani has remained the same, his appeals across the spectrum have at times seemed contradictory and risked playing into a core Mamdani argument: The former New York governor is aligning with Donald Trump for political reasons in his comeback bid, even as the Queens-born president threatens his hometown with federal retribution if Mamdani wins. There are a lot of New Yorkers who are excited about your campaign who are also excited about Donald Trump, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle pressed Cuomo recently."

Andrew Cuomo is campaigning across party lines to convince both New York City Democrats and Republicans he would better represent them than his opponents. He is making media appearances on Fox Business, MSNBC, and ABC's The View while courting real-estate leaders and attending a Republican-hosted fundraiser. Campaign aides are boosting social media with an AI-generated video of Cuomo. Public polling shows Zohran Mamdani leading the race. Eric Adams' exit from the mayoral contest offered a limited boost but no endorsement. Critics say Cuomo's cross-spectrum appeals risk aligning him with Donald Trump and undercutting Democratic support for Mamdani.
