US EditionSharpton Calls for Cuomo to Drop Out of NYC Mayor’s Race
NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES, JUL 2 – Sharpton urges Cuomo to quit to prevent vote splitting in November's NYC mayoral race, where Mamdani won the Democratic primary with 56% of votes, and Cuomo remains an independent candidate.
- Rev. Al Sharpton urged former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday to drop out of the city's mayoral race and consider what is best for the city.
- Sharpton's call followed Cuomo's loss in the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani, who secured 56% of the vote through ranked choice voting last week.
- Although Cuomo was defeated in the Democratic primary, he will still appear in the November general election under the "Fight & Deliver" independent line, while current Mayor Eric Adams is also pursuing re-election as an independent amid federal allegations.
- Sharpton said Cuomo should avoid distracting from the main competition between Mamdani and Adams and suggested Cuomo could endorse one candidate without seeking the office himself.
- Sharpton concluded that Cuomo withdrawing from the race would serve both his legacy and New Yorkers' interests by enabling a clear contest between Mamdani and Adams.
