  1. Cuomo should just televise punching himself in the face repeatedly. Couldn’t be any worse. 

  2. So this leaked audio reveals that Cuomo is relying on Trump’s help to win… New York City, which voted for Kamala Harris by a 38-point margin, 68% to 30%, last year. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for him.

  3. The elites are all in it together to suppress the will of the people. Mamdani is not good for their bottom line, and plenty of “moderate Democrats” will fall in line to try and prevent him from coming to power. The “two-party” system at play once again!

  4. Andrew Cuomo pitches himself as the Republican nominee:

    >*Politico* obtained a leaked audio recording of Cuomo speaking at a fundraiser in the Hamptons over the weekend in which he expressed confidence that Trump and other Republicans would send signals to their voters that they should back him instead of Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.

    >”Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani… and you’ll be wasting your vote on Sliwa,” Cuomo said, according to Politico. “So I feel good about that.”

    >During the fundraiser, Cuomo also suggested that he would have a better relationship with the president than Mamdani, and that there would be opportunities for the two of them to work together.

    >”Let’s put it this way: I knew the president very well,” Cuomo said. “I believe there’s a big piece of him that actually wants redemption in New York. He feels that he was rejected by New York. We voted for Hillary Clinton. Bill de Blasio took his name off things. So I believe there will be opportunities to actually cooperate with him. I also believe that he’s not going to want to fight with me in New York if he can avoid it.”

    Mamdani’s response:

    >”At (another) Hamptons fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: He’s expecting Trump’s help to defeat us in November,” wrote Mamdani. “‘I feel good about that,’ Cuomo said. New Yorkers won’t.”

    >Mamdani then pointed to an earlier report from The New York Times that detailed a call that Cuomo had with Trump about the mayoral race.

    >”Now we’re seeing the results of that collaboration,” Mamdani remarked. “But as we showed in the primary, our hustle can defeat their money. Let’s get organized and win even bigger. Eleven more weeks.”

  5. Think about what this means for a second.

    He’s clearly not talking about political help, or help in the polls. Trump is sewage in New York. Even saying his name probably cost him ten points.

    He’s talking about something else. Some other way Trump can intervene to keep Mamdani from winning. He’s talking about ICE or the Justice Department.

  6. A lot of these Democrats answer to power and ambition. They do not work for the people.

    They are scared of AOC and Mamdani because these actual progressives will threaten their ability to gain power through sinister methods

  7. But Cuomo is a disgraced has been, why would anyone tell their friends out loud they would vote for him?

  9. Rich nepo sexual predator babies joining forces to crush the will of the voters.

  11. >”Let’s put it this way: I knew the president very well,” Cuomo said. “I believe there’s a big piece of him that actually wants redemption in New York. He feels that he was rejected by New York. We voted for Hillary Clinton. Bill de Blasio took his name off things. So I believe there will be opportunities to actually cooperate with him. I also believe that he’s not going to want to fight with me in New York if he can avoid it.”

    Wow Cuomo is a bigger piece of shit than I expected.

  12. Cuomo’s basically admitting he’s cool with MAGA tactics if it gets him the win. Remember, this is the same guy who resigned in disgrace over harassment scandals, and now he’s cozying up to Trumpworld for a comeback? No thanks, New York. We don’t need another ego-driven politician playing footsie with the far-right just to stay relevant. What’s next, a joint rally?

  13. Given how much he’s fundraising in the Hamptons, why doesn’t he just fucking run for mayor or Congressional representative of the fucking Hamptons?! They’re literally not a part of NYC lmao

  14. Cuomo needs to disappear into retirement. Nice porch swing or something

  16. Same old story. Traditional elites are always so terrified of the left that they will jump into bed with the right, thinking that they can control the situation.

    Reminds me of a certain central European Republic about 95 years ago.

  18. it feels like everyone is just siding with trump just to get rid of mamdani cause mamdani is going after billionaires

  19. The only reason I can think of that Cuomo is -this desperate- to get into office is that there is dirty laundry somewhere. I’ve never seen a Democrat so unable to bow out gracefully upon defeat. It’s legitimately embarrassing at this point.

  20. Get out of politics, Cuomo! Go upstate and retire!!!

  21. Has Cuomo developed some kind of mental disorder? He has 0 chance of winning this election. He should just drop out. But no, he wants to stay in the race and get endorsed by Donald Trump and then lose?

    Am I missing something?

  22. He lost the Democratic primary… What makes him think he will win with or without Trumps help?

  24. “Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani.”

    Why?

  25. Can us millennials promise each other that we will never come this out of touch when we hit 60. I swear they all need to be put in looney bin

  26. I gotta give it to Mamdani – he uses any and all ammunition thrown his way.

  27. Just another reminder that establishment dems would rather deal with republicans than work with progressives

  28. And that’s how you commit political suicide Ladies and Gentlemen.

  29. Cuomo is just as much as an entitled little shit as trump is

  30. Cuomo and Trump love molestation. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

  31. Moment in History – a politician asking an alleged child sex trafficking ring enabler/particiant for help in rigging a democratic election.

    Speaks volumes on why America is in decline.

  34. I guess we now know why Chris Cuomo on YouTube is railing against Mandami.

  36. Cuomo is showing his real self….. depending on a pedaphile……I do not see this working to Cuomo favor
