Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo will continue to run for mayor after losing the Democratic primary, sources said Sunday.<\/p>\n
Cuomo plans to announce his independent run for mayor this week, sources tell NY1.<\/p>\n
The announcement is set to come weeks after Cuomo lost the Democratic primary in the race for mayor to Zohran Mamdani.<\/p>\n
After conceding the primary race to Mamdani, Cuomo said he would take time to assess whether he’d launch a full campaign for mayor after previously securing a spot on an independent ballot line for November.<\/p>\n
A source close to the Cuomo campaign said that Cuomo will also call on the Republican and independent candidates in the race to vow to step aside if they’re not polling well by mid-September to help increase one candidate’s chances of beating Mamdani.<\/p>\n
In the weeks since the primary, Cuomo has privately called supporters to assess the potential strength of an independent run for mayor.<\/p>\n
Cuomo will be running against Mamdani, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and independent candidates Mayor Eric Adams and Jim Walden.<\/p>\n
The Adams campaign criticized Cuomo’s decision to run in November, accusing him of political double-dealing, and also noting “Andrew Cuomo lost the Democratic primary by double digits.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Gov.
