Cuomo to stay in NYC mayor's race, says he will get behind best candidate to beat Mamdani
Briefly

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo confirmed he will remain in the race for New York City Mayor despite losing the primary to Zohran Mamdani. In a video announcement, Cuomo stated he made mistakes during the primary, particularly in communicating his vision and countering Mamdani's proposals. Mamdani, who won with 44% of the vote compared to Cuomo's 36%, acknowledged New Yorkers’ desire for a new political approach. The general election will also feature incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, all running against Mamdani.
Cuomo stated, "I made mistakes in the primary. I was not aggressive enough in communicating my vision for a fairer, safer, more affordable New York, or in debunking Zohran Mamdani's unrealistic proposals and divisive agenda."
Mamdani emphasized that New Yorkers showed their desire for a new kind of politics, which he believes signifies a rejection of Cuomo's traditional political practices.
