Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a video released Monday that he will run an independent campaign for New York City mayor, weeks after losing the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani.
nyc primaries have terrible voter turnout, somewhere between 20-30% of registered dem voters in the city. Mamdani did get a record number of voters out to the polls but Cuomo’s camp is thinking they can reinvigorate the other 70% of dems who sat this primary out. So yes, Cuomo is banking on this but I hope his highly paid pol consultants are very wrong.
