Cuomo to run as third-party candidate in NYC after loss to Mamdani
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 15 – After losing the Democratic primary by 12 points, Cuomo launches an independent bid aiming to consolidate anti-Mamdani voters with a pledge to drop out if not leading by September.
- Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced he will run as an independent in the November mayoral election to challenge Zohran Mamdani.
- Cuomo launched this comeback almost four years after resigning in 2021 following a sexual harassment investigation involving at least 11 women.
- Cuomo lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani last month by 12 percentage points amid low voter turnout and union support for Mamdani.
- Cuomo denied wrongdoing and claimed the scandal was politically motivated, stating, "The fight to save our city isn't over," while creating the Fight and Deliver party.
- Multiple candidates splitting the anti-Mamdani vote could increase Mamdani's chances, reflecting a crowded race including independent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
