Andrew Cuomo Runs as Independent in NYC Mayor Race

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is staying in the mayoral race as an independent candidate.

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo will remain in the New York City mayoral race as an independent, alongside incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Jim Walden. He will ask three of the other four candidates to vow to end their mayoral campaigns if they are not in the lead by mid-September, the New York Post reports.

A new poll released by political consulting firm Slingshot Strategies shows that Cuomo is trailing Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani by ten percent; Mamdani currently leads with 35 percent of the vote, Cuomo following with 25 percent.
