Andrew Cuomo Announces Third-Party Run, Says He's 'In It to Win It'

It's kind of weird to be backing the guy who had to resign as New York governor over sexual harassment scandals, not to mention killed off the elderly in nursing homes by putting COVID patients in with the most vulnerable. But Andrew Cuomo says the New York City mayoral election isn't until November, and he's in it to win it. We wish he would have spent more time exposing Zohan Mandani's communist statements, but we guess he's trying to stay positive. Besides, those 13 percent who voted in the primary voted for the Democratic Socialist. New York it going to get the mayor it votes for.

Here's Cuomo shaking a lot of hands:

Mamdani can’t be allowed to win. Is Cuomo really the best option?

CORRECTION ** Andrew Cuomo’s independent run guarantees Zohran Mamdani’s win.

Is he just going to siphon away votes from incumbent Eric Adams, who's also a disaster, and let Mamdani run away with it. If New Yorkers don't turn out and vote in November, they're going to get the mayor the deserve.

That’ll definitely give the election to the dem nominee

Wouldn’t it be better to join forces with Eric Adams?

He's guaranteeing Mamdani's victory.

We hate to say it, but from here it looks like Mamdani's going to be the city's next mayor. He's getting tons of media exposure, a lot of it negative, but still, his name is out there.
