Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo will reportedly enter the New York City mayoral race as an independent candidate after losing the Democratic primary to progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani. Cuomo’s decision comes after a significant swing in voter support towards Mamdani, who could become the city's first Muslim mayor. As Cuomo navigates his political comeback amidst controversies from his past, including allegations of harassment, he joins incumbent mayor Eric Adams in rebranding his campaign away from traditional party lines. The evolving political landscape is marked by a push for new leadership focused on working-class concerns.
Cuomo, 67, will run as an independent in New York City's mayoral race after losing the Democratic primary to progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani who emphasizes working-class issues.
Despite conceding, Cuomo aims to continue his political career by embracing an independent platform, joining Eric Adams, who similarly pivots post-Democratic primary.
