Former Governor Andrew Cuomo has reportedly decided to run as an independent in the upcoming New York City mayoral race. The news comes after Cuomo’s stunning loss to democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, who secured a convincing victory in the recent Democratic primary.
According to sources, Cuomo plans to ask all candidates not leading in the mayoral race by mid-September to withdraw from the contest. This move is seen as an attempt to gain momentum and potentially sway voters away from incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is currently running as an independent.
Cuomo’s decision to run as an independent is a significant development in the mayoral race, which has already been marred by controversy and drama. The former governor’s entry into the fray could further complicate matters for the remaining candidates.
It remains unclear what Cuomo’s campaign strategy will be, but it is clear that he intends to make a strong push to become New York City mayor.
