NYC mayoral hopefuls are running against Andrew Cuomo, whether he's in the race or not
Andrew Cuomo isn’t running for New York City mayor, at least not yet. But the candidates who are in the race are already running against him.
Those close to the former New York governor insist he hasn’t made any final decisions about entering the 2025 mayoral race, despite recently changing his residence to Manhattan and reports that his allies have been contacting potential donors. Some of the current mayoral hopefuls, however, aren’t wasting any time trying to define him anyway.
They include former city Comptroller Scott Stringer, whose campaign branded Cuomo a “selfish suburbanite only looking to rehabilitate his image.” Current Comptroller Brad Lander called him an “agent of corruption and chaos.” And in a video launching his campaign, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani singled out two politicians for criticism: Cuomo and current Mayor Eric Adams.
“Life in this city doesn’t need to be this hard, but politicians like Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo want it to be this way,” Mamdani said in the video. “They care about their donors. They care about themselves. They don’t care about you.”
