US EditionAndrew Cuomo announces third-party run for NYC mayor, setting up rematch against Zohran Mamdani
- In a video posted Monday, Cuomo announced he will pursue an independent mayoral run for the Nov. 4 election after losing the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani last month.
- Since conceding the June 24 primary, Cuomo has kept his options open, planning to run as an independent under the Fight and Deliver party to challenge Mamdani, focusing on consolidating moderate votes.
- Seeking to consolidate votes, Slingshot Strategies poll shows Mamdani at 35%, Cuomo 25%, Sliwa 14%, and Adams 11%, with a mid-September dropout deadline, New York Post reported.
- Mamdani’s campaign responded that Cuomo and Adams are cutting backroom deals with billionaires and Republicans, while Sliwa told ABC News he refuses to back down from the race.
- With a 6-to-1 Democratic advantage, Cuomo is expected to compete for moderate and business-minded voters concerned about Mamdani’s platform, shaping a five-way contest for NYC mayoral election.
