Andrew Cuomo announced his candidacy for New York City Mayor as an Independent after losing the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani. He pledged to win in the November general election and criticized Mamdani for lack of real solutions. With only 13% voter turnout in the primary, experts question Cuomo's strategy and his ability to overcome competition from Mamdani, Curtis Sliwa, and Eric Adams. Cuomo needs a new narrative while addressing the shifting support from high-profile donors who have backed Adams instead.
Only 13% of New Yorkers voted in the June primary. The general election is in November, and I am in it to win it.
Cuomo must find a new narrative, decide key issues for his platform, and fight back against Mamdani, Sliwa, and Adams.
Cuomo will have to present an aggressive Cuomo, a gentler Cuomo, and a more policy-focused Cuomo all in one package.
Some high-profile billionaires who previously supported Cuomo are now backing current Mayor Adams in the general election.
