"Wait a second. The president is going to back down to you, Andrew Cuomo? I know you think you're the toughest guy alive, but let me tell you something. You lost your own primary, right? You were rejected by your Democrats and you have a difficult understanding what the term no is. You're not gonna stand up to Donald Trump."
"Nothing came from those allegations. It was a very painful period for me and for my family. If I offended anyone in any way, I didn't mean it. And I learned a lesson. A painful lesson, he continued. I won't kiss a person on the cheek unless they initiate a kiss. So it taught me a lesson just to be super cautious because there is a sensitivity that has evolved that is real.

Andrew Cuomo was attacked by opponents during a New York City mayoral debate after he said he had previously made President Donald Trump back down and would do so again. Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa mocked Cuomo’s claim, noted Cuomo lost his primary, and said Cuomo would not stand up to Trump. Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani agreed. Opponents referenced Cuomo’s 2021 resignation after an independent investigation found he had sexually harassed at least 11 women, including allegations of forcible kissing, inappropriate touching, and groping. Cuomo denied wrongdoing, apologized, and said he learned to be more cautious about kisses and physical contact.
