Andrew Cuomo is trying to revive his chances in New York City’s mayoral race after a bruising primary loss to Zohran Mamdani, according to Politico. The former governor has been lobbying former allies, but key groups like Black leaders and labor unions are walking away, leaving his general election prospects shaky.
Rev. Al Sharpton publicly urged Cuomo to exit the race, and several major unions that once backed him are now supporting Mamdani. Cuomo insists a five-way general election field gives him a viable path, though Adams’ reentry complicates the math.
With establishment support fading and donors uncertain, Cuomo faces an uphill climb to remain a contender.
