US EditionCuomo announces independent party, still running in Democratic primary
- Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared he will seek the mayoralty of New York City in November by running on a newly established independent party ticket while also competing in the Democratic primary.
- Cuomo created the independent party due to disillusionment among some Democrats who feel the party has been hijacked and fails to deliver results for working people.
- Cuomo plans to pursue the Democratic nomination, but if he does not win, he will compete in the November general election against the Democratic nominee, Republican Curtis Sliwa, independent candidate Jim Walden, and Mayor Eric Adams, who is seeking reelection as an independent.
- The Democratic primary uses ranked-choice voting and will be held on June 24 ahead of the November election, with Cuomo currently viewed as the front-runner despite a crowded contest and ongoing debates.
- Cuomo's dual bid suggests an effort to build a broad coalition by appealing to independents and Republicans, while Adams criticizes Cuomo for copying his independent campaign strategy.
