New York City mayoral candidates Mamdani, Sliwa, and Adams criticize Andrew Cuomo's decision to stay in the race as an independent after losing the Democratic primary by 12 points.

In a video posted to social media, Cuomo cast the race as a direct contest between himself and Mamdani, omitting mention of Adams, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, or fellow independent Jim Walden. The footage featured Cuomo walking through the city and engaging with residents—imagery that Politico noted echoed Mamdani’s own viral campaign style.

Cuomo is hiring a new social media team and revamping his get-out-the-vote operation. Consultants who advised his primary bid, which he lost to 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani by 12 points, aren’t sticking around for the November race after their contracts ended,

The former governor made his pitch to Wall Street, attacking Zohran Mamdani’s “unrealistic proposals and divisive agenda.”

The former governor, now running for NYC mayor as an independent, is trying to up his social media game. Zohran Mamdani's supporters quickly noticed.

Mr. Cuomo, the former governor of New York, has vowed to run a more energetic campaign than he did in the mayoral primary, and aimed to demonstrate that on Tuesday.
