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.
