Former Governor Andrew Cuomo intends to run as an independent candidate for New York City Mayor, regardless of the outcome in the Democratic primary. This decision stems from his belief that the Democratic Party has been misrepresented. His announcement was met with criticism from competitors like Assemblymember Zohan Mamdani and Comptroller Brad Lander, who labeled him a 'Democrat-In-Name-Only.' Cuomo's move is seen as a reaction to Mamdani's rising popularity in the race, with some challengers expressing concerns about Cuomo's political integrity and suitability for office.
In a statement, he made the move to appeal to voters who feel the Democratic party has been hijacked.
Andrew Cuomo is scared, Mamdani said in a statement.
Brad Lander...calling him a DINO and noting that as governor, Cuomo filled his cabinet with Republicans.
New Yorkers, if you don't want a disgraced Governor, a disgraced Mayor, or a Champagne socialist as Mayor, it is time to wake up.
